For such kind of borrowing as this, if it be not bettered by the borrowers, among good authors is accounted Plagiarè.
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
Midnight shout and revelry, Tipsy dance and jollity.
John Milton
Image
And some are fall'n, to disobedience fall'n, And so from Heav'n to deepest Hell O fall From what high state of bliss into what woe!

His words, like so many nimble and airy servitors, trip about him at command. Ibid.
