7 psl. - On Dorset downs, when MILTON'S page, With Sin and Death, provok'd thy rage, Thy rage provok'd, who sooth'd with gentle rhymes ? V. Who kindly couch'd thy censure's eye, And gave thee clearly to descry Sound judgment giving law to fancy strong ? Who half inclin'd thee to confess, Nor could thy modesty do less, That MILTON'S blindness lay not in his song ? VI.
220 psl. - Discorde accourut ; le démon de la guerre, La Mort pâle et sanglante, étaient à ses côtés. Malheureux, suspendez vos coups précipités ! Mais un destin funeste enflamme leur courage ; Dans le cœur l'un de l'autre ils cherchent un passage, Dans ce cœur ennemi qu'ils ne connaissent pas.
