This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from Ben Jonson's work Sejanus His Fall (1st edition, 1605; and 1616 version). It can be used to create a link to online versions of the work at Google Books and the Internet Archive:
The template takes the following parameters:
|chapter= – if quoting from one of the chapters indicated in the second column of the following table, give the parameter the value indicated in the first column:| Parameter value | Result |
|---|---|
| Argument | The Argument |
| Chapman | In Seianum Ben. Ionsoni et Musis, et Sibi in Delicijs (by George Chapman) |

| Th R | To His Learned, and Beloued Friend, vpon His Æquall Worke (by Th. R.) |
| To the Reader | To the Reader |
|1= or |page= – mandatory: as the work is unpaginated, use this parameter to specify the "page number" assigned by the Internet Archive ("IA") to the URL of the webpage to be linked to. For example, if the URL is https://archive.org/details/bim_early-english-books-1475-1640_seianus-his-fall_jonson-benjamin_1605/page/n16/mode/1up, specify |page=16. This parameter must be specified to have the template determine the act number (I–V) quoted from, and to link to the online version of the work.|act= – in most cases, if the IA page number is specified the template can determine the act number quoted from. However, it is unable to do so if page 31, 45, 66, or 82 is specified, in which case this parameter must be used to specify the act number in uppercase Roman numerals, like this: |act=I.| Act I IA pages 16–31 |
Act II IA pages 31–45 |
Act III IA pages 45–66 |
Act IV IA pages 66–82 |
Act V IA pages 82–108 |
|sig= or |signature=, and |verso= – |sig= or |signature= can be used to specify the signature number quoted from, which is indicated at the bottom centre of some pages. If quoting from a verso (left-hand) page specify |verso=1 or |verso=yes; if |verso= is omitted, the template indicates that a recto (right-hand) page is quoted.
[ and ] For example, if the previous signature number is A3 and the next one is B, specify the missing signature number as |sig=[A4].|sig= or |signature=, and |verso=, to specify the signature at the start of the range, and |sigend= or |signatureend=, and |versoend=, (if required) to specify the signature at the end of the range.|year= – mandatory: if quoting from the 1616 version, specify |year=1616. If this parameter is omitted, the template defaults to the 1st edition (1605).|1= or |act= – mandatory: the act number quoted from in uppercase Roman numerals.|2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
|pages=360–361.|pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).|3=, |text=, or |passage= – the passage to be quoted.|footer= – a comment about the passage quoted.|brackets= – use |brackets=on to surround a quotation with brackets. This indicates that the quotation either contains a mere mention of a term (for example, "some people find the word manoeuvre hard to spell") rather than an actual use of it (for example, "we need to manoeuvre carefully to avoid causing upset"), or does not provide an actual instance of a term but provides information about related terms.{{RQ:Jonson Sejanus|sig=[K4]|verso=1|page=89|passage=''Minutius'' tells vs here, my Lord, / That, a nevv Head being ſet vpon your Statue. / A Rope is ſince found '''vvreath'd''' about it; {{...}}}} (the template can determine the act number based on the IA page specified); or{{RQ:Jonson Sejanus|sig=[K4]|verso=1|89|''Minutius'' tells vs here, my Lord, / That, a nevv Head being ſet vpon your Statue. / A Rope is ſince found '''vvreath'd''' about it; {{...}}}}{{RQ:Jonson Sejanus|chapter=Argument|sig=[A4]|page=14|passage=e raiſeth (in priuate) a nevv Inſtrument, one ''Sertorius Macro'', and by him '''vndervvorketh''', diſcouers the others Coũſells {{quote-gloss|''i.e.'', counsels}}, his Means, his Ends, {{...}}}}{{RQ:Jonson Sejanus|page=89|passage=''Minutius'' tells vs here, my Lord, / That, a nevv Head being ſet vpon your Statue. / A Rope is ſince found '''vvreath'd''' about it; {{...}}}}{{RQ:Jonson Sejanus|year=1616|act=I|page=360|passage=No, {{smallcaps|Silius}}, wee are no good '''inginers'''; / VVe vvant the fine arts, & their thriuing vſe, / Should make vs grac'd, or fauour'd of the times: / {{...}} / VVe burne with no black ſecrets, vvhich can make / Vs deare to the pale authors; or liue fear'd / Of their ſtill vvaking iealouſies, to raiſe / Our ſelues a fortune, by ſubuerting theirs.}}; or{{RQ:Jonson Sejanus|year=1616|I|360|No, {{smallcaps|Silius}}, wee are no good '''inginers'''; / VVe vvant the fine arts, & their thriuing vſe, / Should make vs grac'd, or fauour'd of the times: / {{...}} / VVe burne with no black ſecrets, vvhich can make / Vs deare to the pale authors; or liue fear'd / Of their ſtill vvaking iealouſies, to raiſe / Our ſelues a fortune, by ſubuerting theirs.}}This template relies partly on {{RQ:Jonson Works}}.
