THE POETICAL WORKS

OF

JOHN MILTON.

EDITED BY

SIR EGERTON BRYDGES, BART.

WITH IMAGINATIVE ILLUSTRATIONS BY

J. M. W. TURNER, ESQ. R. A.

Is not each great, each amiable Muse
Of classic ages in our Milton met?
A genius upiversal as his theme;
Astonishing as Chaos; as the bloom
Of blowing Eden fair; as Heaven sublime !

THOMSON.
