Ben Jonson though appreciated Shakespeare but he criticized many of his plays especially Juliet Caeser. He wrote after three years' of Shakespeare's death that, ''I loved the man and do honour his memory as much as any''. He also said that Shakespeare was not of an age. He was Shakespeare's friend, fellowmate and regarded as the second most important English Dramatist after William Shakespeare. There are many legends about Jonson's rivalry with Shakespeare.
