Did Robert Herrick Know and Respond to the 
Works of Ben Jonson?
    
    This one is almost too 
easy, and therein lies the problem--how to find a non-obvious relationship?  
Herrick writes poems to Jonson, calls him his "father," and 
writes a poem that 
shares a Jonsonian aesthetic, "Delight in Disorder" and "Still to Be Neat."
  Look for your thesis in evidence of changes 
between the older and younger poet's works.  As always, scholarly 
biographies would help establish the historical context for your introduction.
