Indu'd With sanctity of reason.
John Milton

Some say no evil thing that walks by night, In fog or fire, by lake or moorish fen, Blue meagre hag, or stubborn unlaid ghost That breaks his magic chains at curfew time, No goblin, or swart fairy of the mine, Hath hurtful power o'er true virginity.

John Milton
Image
Our torments also may in length of time Become our elements, these piercing fires As soft as now severe, our temper changed Into their temper.
John Milton

To live a life half dead, a living death.
John Milton
Image
Man hath his daily work of body or mind Appointed.
John Milton
Image
So may'st thou live, till like ripe fruit thou drop Into thy mother's lap, or be with ease Gathered, not harshly plucked, for death mature: This is old age but then thou must outlive Thy youth, thy strength, thy beauty, which will change To withered weak and grey.
John Milton
Image
And these gems of Heav'n, her starry train.
John Milton

Let us descend now therefore from this top Of speculation.
John Milton

Let none henceforth seek needless cause to approve The faith they owe when earnestly they seek Such proof, conclude, they then begin to fail.
