Description:
Excerpt from Selected Poems of John Milton: L’allegro, IL Penseroso, Comus, Lycidas John Milton was born in Bread Street, Cheapside, London, December 9, 1608. His grandfather, Richard Milton, was a yeoman of Stanton St. John, a little village about five miles from Oxford. He was so ardent a Catholic, that he disinherited his son John, the poet’s father, for reading the Bible in English. This son went up to London, where he became an attorney and law stationer, and by his industry, soon amassed a substantial fortune. But of more importance to the poet was the fact that his father was a man of broad culture, who had won considerable fame as a musical composer. Milton, in a Latin poem, Ad Patrem, pays this tribute to his father: Now say, what wonder is it if a son Of thine delight in verse, if so conjoined In close affinity, we sympathize In social arts and kindred studies sweet? Such distribution of himself to us Was Ph bus’ choice; thou hast thy gift and Mine also; and between us we receive, Father and son, the whole inspiring god. My Father! who, when I had opened once The stores of Roman rhetoric, and learned The full-toned language of the eloquent Greeks, Whose lofty music graced the lips of Jove, Thyself didst counsel me to add the flowers That Gallia boasts, those, too, with which the smooth Italian his degenerate speech adorns, That witnesses his mixture with the Goth; And Palestine’s prophetic songs divine.
