Come knit hands, and beat the ground in a light fantastic round

John Milton
As children gath'ring pebbles on the shore. Or if I would delight my private hours With music or with poem, where so soon As in our native language can I find That solace?
John Milton
Spirits that live throughout, Vital in every part, not as frail man, In entrails, heart or head, liver or reins, Cannot but by annihilating die.
John Milton
Grace was in all her steps, heaven in her eye, in every gesture dignity and love.
John Milton
Such joy ambition finds.
John Milton
Those whom reason hath equalled, force hath made supreme
John Milton
