    And like a forester the groves may tread
    Even till the eastern gate, all fiery-red,
    Opening on Neptune with fair blessèd beams,
    Turns unto yellow gold his salt green streams.”

    The great Emathian conqueror bid spare
    The house of Pindarus, when temple and tower
    Went to the ground; and the repeated air
    Of sad Electra’s poet had the power
    To save the Athenian walls from ruin bare.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
