' All that high heaven Holds in its deathless mansions ; all that Earth Sees spread below the skies ; all that this air Hides in its azure depths 'twixt Earth and Heaven ; All that lies buried in the dark abyss. Beneath the swelling marble of the deep, I now may search and learn, if learn I will : — Knowledge beholds me from her broken cloud, And gently bends her rosy lips to mine. Unless I basely spurn her proffer'd kiss^ 110 MILTON TO HIS FATHER. Go thou that, void of reason, dost prefer The ...ancestral hoards of Austria's potent kings. And ores that sparkle in Peruvian mines, Compare these riches with thy wildest dreams. What more could human father grant a son ? What more could Jove himself, were he to give All short of heaven ? — No fairer boon than this. Had even the boon prov'd safe, did Phoebus grant When trusting, to the rash young Phaethon, The Sun's bright chariot with the reins of day. And that tiara rich in golden beams. I nameless now, the least in wisdom's train, Will sit amid green laurel and fresh ivy.
