This template may be used in Wiktionary entries to format quotations from a collection of Ben Jonson's poetry called Underwoods as it appears in The Works of Benjamin Jonson (2nd folio, 1640). It can be used to create a link to an online version of the work at Google Books.

The template takes the following parameters:

• |1= or |poem= – mandatory: the name of the poem quoted from.
• |stanza= – the stanza number quoted from in Arabic numerals.
• |date=, or (|month= and) |year= – if the date of the poem quoted from is known, use |date= to specify it in the format 19 November 1632 or November 19, 1632. The date will be converted from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar. If only month and year, or year alone, of the sermon is known, use |month= and |year= to specify this information.
• |2= or |page=, or |pages= – mandatory in some cases: the page number(s) quoted from. When quoting a range of pages, note the following:
  • Separate the first and last pages of the range with an en dash, like this: |pages=163–164.
  • You must also use |pageref= to specify the page number that the template should link to (usually the page on which the Wiktionary entry appears).

You must specify this information to have the template link to the online version of the work.

• |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.
