(That last infirmity of noble mind) To scorn delights, and live laborious days But the fair guerdon when we hope to find, And think to burst out into sudden blaze, Comes the blind Fury with th' abhorred shears And slits the thin-spun life.

When the gray-hooded Even, Like a sad votarist in palmer's weed, Rose from the hindmost wheels of Phoebus' wain.John Milton
Hung over her enamour'd, and beheld Beauty, which, whether waking or asleep, Shot forth peculiar graces.
John Milton
For contemplation he and valour formed For softness she and sweet attractive grace, He for God only, she for God in him His fair large front and eye sublime declare Absolute rule and hyacinthine locks Round from his parted forelock manly hung Clustering, but not beneath his shoulders broad. Which implied Subjection, but required with gentle sway And by her yielded, by him best received Yielded with coy submission, modest pride, And sweet reluctant amorous delay.... God is thy law, thou mine to know no more Is womans happiest knowledge and her praise.... For nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote.
John Milton
Arms on armour clashing bray'd Horrible discord, and the madding wheels Of brazen chariots rag'd dire was the noise Of conflict.
John Milton
The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
John Milton
Without the meed of some melodious tear.
