PARADISE

LOST.

- every greatly amiable muse
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;
Astonishing as Chaos; as the bloom
Of blowing Eden fair; soft as the talk

Of our grand Parents, and as Heaven fublime.
