Famous quotes containing the word milton:

    “List Lady be not coy, and be not cosen’d
    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 partak’n bliss,
    Unsavoury in th’injoyment of it self
    If you let slip time, like a neglected rose
    It withers on the stalk with languish’t head.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
