) Harry, whose tuneful and well-measured song. The date of this sonnet in Milton's MS. Is February 5, 312 WRITINGS OF MILTON VERSE. 1645-6, though the work to which it alludes was not published till 1648. Possibly the poet, knowing that the work was in preparation, got his sonnet ready for presentation on its appearance. It is not one of Milton's best productions, but it is a pleasing testimony to the talents and merits of a friend. In our account of Henry Lawes, given in the First Part of this... work, we observed that Dr. Burney spoke slightingly of him as a composer. We will here give the opposite opinion of a learned and scientific musician on Lawes and on Milton's sonnet, which is, we believe, equivalent to that of Burney. ^ Of Milton's sonnet I would say, that it is the language of sim- ple truth, and sound and discriminating criticism, conveyed in the dress of poetry. Milton sees, knows, describes his friend's pecu- liar excellence. He is the exception to the general rule. Other writers, ancient or modern, in prose or in poetry, rarely speak of music without betraying their ignorance of it.
