She what was honour knew, And with obsequious majesty approv'd My pleaded reason. To the nuptial bower I led her blushing like the morn all heaven And happy constellations on that hour Shed their selectest influence the earth Gave sign of gratulation, and each hill Joyous the birds fresh gales and gentle airs Whisper'd it to the woods, and from their wings Flung rose, flung odours from the spicy shrub.
More Quotes from John Milton:
So dear to heav'n is saintly chastity, That when a soul is found sincerely so, A thousand liveried angels lackey her, Driving far off each thing of sin and guilt, And in clear dream and solemn vision Tell her of things that no gross ear can hear, Till oft converse with heav'nly habitants Begin to cast a beam on th' outward shape.John Milton
Mutual love, the crown of all our bliss.
John Milton
I took it for a faery vision Of some gay creatures of the element, That in the colours of the rainbow live, And play i' th' plighted clouds.
John Milton

John Milton
With grave Aspect he rose, and in his rising seem'd A pillar of state deep on his front engraven Deliberation sat, and public care And princely counsel in his face yet shone, Majestic though in ruin sage he stood, With Atlantean shoulders, fit to bear The weight of mightiest monarchies his look Drew audience and attention still as night Or summer's noontide air.
John Milton
