John Milton
O fairest of creation, last and best Of all God's works, creature in whom excelled Whatever can to sight or thought be formed, Holy, divine, good, amiable, or sweet! How art thou lost, how on a sudden lost, Defaced, deflow'red, and now to death devote? Paradise Lost
John Milton

And to thy husband's will Thine shall submit he over thee shall rule.
John Milton
Fairy elves, Whose midnight revels by a forest side Or fountain some belated peasant sees, Or dreams he sees, while overhead the moon Sits arbitress.
John Milton
And sing to those that hold the vital shears And turn the adamantine spindle round, On which the fate of gods and men is wound.
John Milton
What better can we do than prostrate fall before Him reverent, and there confess humbly our faults, and pardon beg with tears watering the ground?
John Milton
My sentence is for open war.
John Milton
Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.
John Milton
Thy liquid notes that close the eye of day.
John Milton
Fairy damsels met in forest wide / By knights of Logres, or of Lyones, / Lancelot or Pelleas, or Pellenore.
John Milton
