PARADISE

LOST

every greatly amiable mufe Of elder ages in thy Milton met;

His was the treasure of two thousand years,
Seldom indulged to man; a god-like mind,
Unlimited, and various, as his theme;
Aftonishing as Chaos; as the bloom

Of blowing Eden fair; foft as the talk
Of our grand Parents, and as Heaven fublime.
