The poetical works of John Milton: with notes of various authors, principally from the editions of Thomas Newton, Charles Dunster and Thomas Warton ; to which is prefixed Newton's life of Milton Quotes

“The timely dew of sleep Now falling with soft slumb'rous weight inclines Our eyelids.”

“This horror will grow mild, this darkness light.”

“Of calling shapes, and beck'ning shadows dire, And airy tongues that syllable men's names.”

“For other things mild Heav'n a time ordains, And disapproves that care, though wise in show, That with superfluous burden loads the day, And when God sends a cheerful hour, refrains.”

“But oh! as to embrace me she inclin'd, I wak'd, she fled, and day brought back my night.”
