1607 — 1666.
OF BEAUTY.
Let us use it while we may Snatch those joys that haste away !
Earth her winter coat may cast, And renew her beauty past : But, our winter come, in vain We solicit Spring again ; And when our furrows snow shall cover Love may return, but never lover.
JOHN MILTON. 199 JOHN MILTON.
1608 — 1674.
AT THE AGE OF TWENTY-THREE.
How soon hath Time, the subtle thief of youth, Stolen on his wing my three-and-twentieth year !
My hasting days tly on with full career, But my late Spri...ng no bud or blossom shew'th.
Perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth That I to manhood am arrived so near ; And inward ripeness doth much less appear That some more timely-happy spirits endu'th.
Yet, be it less or more, or soon or slow, It shall be still in strictest measure even To that same lot, however mean or high, Tow'rd which Time leads me, and the will of Heaven.
All is, if I have grace to use it so.
As ever in my great Task-Master's eye.
LALLEGRO.
Hence, loathed Melancholy !
Of Cerberus and blackest Midnight born, In Stygian cave forlorn 'Mongst horrid shapes and shrieks and sights unholy !
