Live while ye may, Yet happy pair.John Milton
A gulf profound as that Serbonian bog Betwixt Damiata and Mount Casius old, Where armies whole have sunk the parching air Burns frore, and cold performs th' effect of fire. Thither by harpy-footed Furies hal'd, At certain revolutions all the damn'd Are brought, and feel by turns the bitter change Of fierce extremes,extremes by change more fierce From beds of raging fire to starve in ice Their soft ethereal warmth, and there to pine Immovable, infix'd, and frozen round, Periods of time thence hurried back to fire.
John Milton
Wisest men Have erred, and by bad women been deceived And shall again, pretend they ne'er so wise.
John Milton
Sport, that wrinkled Care derides, And Laughter holding both his sides. Come and trip it as ye go, On the light fantastic toe.
John Milton

John Milton
