Abstract
No solid evidence exists to show Ben Jonson died in poverty. The best known tale about Jonson's death is apocryphal. Other evidence suggests he had a major financial crisis in 1629. On August 6, 1637, he died apparently owing less than nine pounds, which he could have paid the following quarter day, September 29.
