More about this scene
It is said that Drummond was sitting under the great sycamore tree in front of the house when Jonson trudged up the path. Drummond met him with 'Welcome, welcome, royal Ben!' Jonson replied: 'Thank ye, thank ye, Hawthornden!' Drummond's library was one of the finest of its day, containing about 1,400 books in English, French, Latin, Greek, Spanish, Italian and Hebrew.
