UNDER MR. MILTON'S PICTURE, BEFORE HIS PARADISE LOST.
Three poets, in three distant ages born,Greece, Italy, and England, did adorn.
The first, in loftiness of thought surpassed;
The next, in majesty; in both, the last.
The force of nature could no further go;
To make a third, she joined the former two.
