For such kind of borrowing as this, if it be not bettered by the borrowers, among good authors is accounted Plagiarè.
John Milton
Image
Cedar, and pine, and fir, and branching palm, A sylvan scene, and as the ranks ascend Shade above shade, a woody theatre Of stateliest view.
John Milton

Our torments also may in length of time Become our Elements.
John Milton
Image
Each tree Laden with fairest fruit, that hung to th' eye Tempting, stirr'd in me sudden appetite To pluck and eat.
John Milton
Image
From haunted spring and dale Edg'd with poplar pale The parting genius is with sighing sent.
John Milton
Image
Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.
John Milton

The nodding horror of whose shady brows Threats the forlorn and wandering passenger.
