Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Milton
The place was pretty, a land of pasture, and corn, and wood, and orchard, watered by many streams, and fed by the Colne. Not far Off ?owed the Thames, and a short walk would bring Milton to the meadows of Eton, and in sight of the towers of Windsor, bosomed high in tufted trees. Among this scenery, and coloured by it, five poems were made by Milton. The Sonnet to the Nightingale, the Allegro and Penseroso, the Arcades, and the Comus and of these the Comus written in 1634, is justly thought to be the last. The Lycizlas, finished in November, 1637, was perhaps composed in London. These six poems represent the poetic activity of six years.
