Famous quotes containing the word milton:
“List Lady be not coy, and be not cosend
With that same vaunted name Virginity,
Beauty is natures coyn, must not be hoorded,
But must be current, and the good thereof
Consists in mutual and partakn bliss,
Unsavoury in thinjoyment of it self
If you let slip time, like a neglected rose
It withers on the stalk with languisht head.”
—John Milton (16081674)
