 COPYKIGHT, 1888, BY GERTRUDE B. Mo 
 
These quotations are selected from Milton's great ivork, 
 "Paradise Lost." 
 
Thus with the year 
 Seasons return, but not to me returns 
 Day, or the sweet approach of ev'n or morn, 
 Or sight of vernal bloom, or summer's rose, 
 Or flocks, or herds, or human face divine ; 
 But cloud instead, and ever-during dark 
 Surrounds me; from the cheerful ways of men 
 Cut off, and for the Book of knowledge fair 
 Presented with an universal blank 
 Of Nature's works, to me expunged and rased. 
 And Wisdom at one entrance quite shut out. 
 So much the rather thou, celestial Light, 
 Shine inward, and the mind through all her pow'rs 
 Irradiate, there plant eyes ; all mist from thence 
 Purge and disperse that I may see and tell 
 Of things invisible to mortal sight. 
 
 —Book III : 40 
 
,eFeefion^ from Mifton. 
 
 I follow Thee, safe guide the path 
 
 Thou lead'st me, and to the hand of Heav'n submit, 
 
 However chast'ning ; to the evil turn 
 
 My obvious breast, arming to overcome 
 
 By suff'ring, and earn , rest from labor won. 
 
 If so I mav attain. 
 
 —Book XI . 
 
 37^- 
 
 Thou art my Father, Thou my Author, Thou 
 My being gav'st me ; whom should I obey 
 But Thee, whom follow? Thou wilt bring me soon 
 To that new world of light and bliss, among 
 The Gods who live at ease. 
 
 —Book II : 864. 
 
 All knees to Thee shall bow, of them that bide 
 In Heav'n, or Earth, or under Earth in Hell. 
 
 —Book III : 321. 
 (5) 
 
God made thee of choice His own, and of his own 
 To serve Him ; thy reward was of His grace ; 
 Thy punishment then, justly, is at His will. 
 
 —Book X : 766. 
 
 Who can deceive His mind, whose eye 
 Views all things at one view? 
 
 — Book II: i8g. 
 
 Due alike 
 To Him who reigns, and so much to Him due 
 Of hazard more, as He above the rest 
 High honour'd sits. 
 
 — Book II : 4^ J. 
 
 In mercy and justice both, 
 Through Heav'n and Earth, so shall My glory excel, 
 But mercy first and last shall brightest shine. 
 
 —Book III: IJ2 
 
 Immediate are the acts ofi'-God, more swift 
 Than time or motion ; but to human ears 
 Cannot without process of speech be told ; 
 So told as earthly notion can receive. 
 
 -Book VII : 176. 
 
 Heav'n open'd wide 
 Her ever-during gates, harmonious sound 
 On golden hinges moving, lo let forth 
 The King of Glory in His pow'rful Word 
 And Spirit coming to create new worlds. 
 
 — Book VII : 20^. 
 (6) 
 
Best are all things as the will 
 Of God ordained them. — Book IX : j4j. 
 
 Father Eternal, Thine is to decree ; 
 
 Mine, both in Heav'n and Earth to do Thy will 
 
 Supreme, that Thou in me, thy Son beloved, 
 
 May'st ever rest well pleased. 
 
 —Book X : 68. 
 
 Just are Thy ways. 
 
 Righteous are Thy decrees : on all Thy works. 
 
 Who can extenuate Thee? Next to the Son, 
 
 Destined Restorer of Mankind, by whom 
 
 New Heav'n and Earth shall to the ages rise. 
 
 Or down from Heav'n descend. 
 
 —Book X : 643. 
 
 O that men 
 * * * should be so stupid grown. 
 As to forsake the living God, and fall 
 To worship their own work in wood and stone 
 For Gods! —Book XII : 113. 
 
 And if by prayer 
 Incessant I could hope to change the will 
 Of Him who all things can, I would not cease 
 To weary Him with my assiduous cries. 
 But prayer against His absolute decree 
 No more avails than breath against the wind. 
 Blown stifling back on him that breathes it forth : 
 Therefore to His great bidding I submit. 
 
 — Book XI : joj. 
 
 (7) 
 
For He, be sure, 
 In height or depth, still first and last will reign 
 Sole King and of His kingdom lose no part. 
 
 — Book II : J2J. 
 
 Regardless of the bliss wherein He sat 
 Second to thee, offered Himself to die 
 For man's offence. O unexampled Love ! 
 
 —Book III : 408. 
 
 Henceforth I learn that to obey is best, 
 
 And love with fear the only God ; to walk 
 
 As in His presence ; ever to observe 
 
 His providence, and on Him sole depend, 
 
 Merciful over all His works, with good 
 
 Still overcomiug evil, and by small 
 
 Accomplishing great things; by things deem'd weak 
 
 Subverting worldly strong, and worldly wise 
 
 By simply meek ; that suff' ring for truth's sake 
 
 Is fortitude to highest victory. 
 
 And to the faithful, death the gate of life : 
 
 Taught this by His example, whom I now 
 
 Acknowledge my Redeemer ever blest. 
 
 — Book XII : ^61. 
 
 Glory they sung to the Most High, good will 
 To future men, and in their dwellings peace. 
 
 —Book VII : 1 82. 
 (8) 
 
<|y^AN shall not quite be lost, but saved who will, 
 
 j* Yet not of will in him, but grace in Me 
 
 Freely vouchsafed. * * * 
 
 Upheld by Me, yet once more he shall stand 
 
 On even ground against his mortal foe 
 
 By Me upheld, that he may know how frail 
 
 His fall'n condition is, and to Me owe 
 
 All his deliv'rance, and to none but Me. 
 
 Some I have chosen of peculiar grace 
 
 Elect above the rest ; so is My will : 
 
 The rest shall hear Me call, and oft be warn'd 
 
 Their sinful state, and to appease betimes 
 
 Th' incensed Deity, while offer'd grace 
 
 Invites ; for I will clear their senses dark, 
 
 What may suffice, and soften stony hearts 
 
 To pray, repent, and bring obedience due 
 
 To pray'r, repentance, and obedience due. 
 
 Though but endeavour'd with sincere intent. 
 
 Mine ear shall not be slow, Mine eye not shut. 
 
 And I will place within them as a guide 
 
 My umpire Conscience ; whom if they will hear. 
 
 Light after light well used they shall attain. 
 
 And, to the end persisting, safe arrive. 
 
 —Book III : 17 J. 
 (9) 
 
In His own image He 
 Created thee, in the image of God 
 Express, and thou becam'st a living soul. 
 
 —Book VII : S26. 
 
 Be lowly wise : 
 Think only what concerns thee and thy being ; 
 Dream not of other worlds, what creatures there 
 Live, in what state, condition or degree ; 
 Contented that thus far hath been reveal'd 
 Not of Earth onlv, but of highest Heav'n. 
 
 —Book VIII : 17 J. 
 
 Solicit not thy thoughts with matters hid ; 
 Leave them to God above ; Him serve and fear! 
 Of other creatures, as Him pleases best. 
 Wherever placed, let Him dispose : joy thou 
 In what He gives to thee, 
 
 —Book VIII : 167. 
 
 Stand fast, to stand or fall 
 Free in thine own arbitrement it lies. 
 Perfect within, no outward aid require ; 
 And all temptation to transgress repel, 
 
 —Book VIII : 640. 
 
 What in me is dark. 
 
 Illumine ; what is low, raise and support, 
 
 —Book 1 : 22. 
 (10) 
 
Seest thou yon dreary plain, forlorn and wild, 
 The seat of desolation, void of light. 
 Save what the glimm'ring of these livid flames 
 Cast pale and dreadful ? Thither let us tend 
 From off the tossing of these fiery waves, 
 There rest, if any rest can harbor there. 
 And reassembling our afiflicted powers. 
 Consult how we may henceforth most offend 
 Our enemy, our own loss how repair, 
 How overcome this dire calamity. 
 What reinforcement we may gain from hope. 
 If not, what resolution from despair. 
 
 —Book 1 : 1 80, 
 
 The mind is its own place, and in itself 
 
 Can make a Heav'n of Hell, a Hell of Heav'n. 
 
 — Book 1 : 2j4. 
 
 Feed on thoughts that voluntary move 
 Harmonious numbers. 
 
 Who overcomes 
 By force, hath overcome but half his foe. 
 
 -Book III : j7. 
 
 —Book 1 : 648. 
 
 Where there is then no good 
 
 For which to strive, no strife can grow up there 
 
 From faction. 
 
 —Book II : JO. 
 
 (lO 
 
The way seems difficult and steep, to scale 
 With upright wing against a higher foe. 
 
 Thus repulsed, our final hope 
 Is flat despair. 
 
 -Book II: 71. 
 
 -Book II : 142. 
 
 Who would lose, 
 Though full of pain, this intellectual being? 
 
 —Book II: 146. 
 
 And wand'ring each his sev'ral way 
 Pursues, as inclination or sad choice 
 Leads him perplex'd, where he may likeliest find 
 Truce to his restless thoughts. 
 
 — Book II : ^2j. 
 
 To suffer, as to do, 
 Our strength is equal ; nor the law unjust 
 That so ordains. This was at first resolved 
 If we were wise, against so great a foe 
 Contending, and so doubtful what might fall. 
 I laugh, when those who at the spear are bold 
 And vent'rous, if that fail them, shrink and fear 
 What yet they know must follow; to endure 
 Exile or ignominy, or bonds, or pain, 
 The sentence of their Conqu'ror. 
 
 — Book II : rgg. 
 
 (12) 
 
Besides what hope the never-ending flight 
 
 Of future days may bring, what chance, what change 
 
 Worth waiting, since our present lot appears 
 
 For happy though but ill, for ill not worst. 
 
 If we procure not to ourselves more woe. 
 
 — Book II : 221. 
 
 All things invite 
 To peaceful counsels, and the settled state 
 Of order, how in safety best we may 
 Compose our present evils, with regard 
 Of what we are, and where, dismissing quite 
 All thoughts of war. 
 
 —Book II: 278. 
 
 Our greatness will appear 
 Then most conspicuous, when great things of small. 
 Useful of hurtful, prosp'rous of adverse. 
 We can create, and in what place soe'er. 
 Thrive under evil, and work ease out of pain 
 Through labour and endurance. * * * 
 
 * * * How oft amidst 
 Thick clouds and dark doth Heav'n's all-ruling Sire 
 Choose to reside. His glory unobscured. 
 And with the majesty of darkness^round 
 Covers His throne. 
 
 —Book II: 2S7. 
 (13) 
 
They ferry over this Lethean sound 
 Both to and fro, their sorrow to augment, 
 And wish and struggle, as they pass, to reach 
 The tempting stream, with one small drop to lose 
 In sweet forgetfulness all pain and woe. 
 All in one moment, and so near the brink ; 
 But fate withstands. 
 
 —Book II : 604. 
 
 Man disobeying. 
 Disloyal breaks his fealty; and sins 
 Against the High Supremacy of Heav'n. 
 
 —Book III: 203. 
 
 Which of ye will be mortal to redeem 
 
 Man's mortal crime, and just th' unjust to save? 
 
 —Book III : 214. 
 
 Neither Man nor Angel can discern 
 Hypocrisy. 
 
 —Book III : 6S2. 
 
 And oft though Wisdom wake, Suspicion sleeps 
 At Wisdom's gate, and to Simplicity 
 Resigns her charge, while Goodness thinks no ill 
 Where no ill seems. 
 
 —Book III: 6S6. 
 
 Each has his place appointed, each his course. 
 
 —Book III: J 20. 
 (14) 
 
Man hath his daily work of body or mind 
 Appointed, which declares his dignity, 
 And the regard of Heav'n on all his ways. 
 
 —Book IV: 6 1 8. 
 
 Thy way thou canst not miss, me inine requires. 
 
 — Book III : '/jj. 
 
 Is there no place 
 Left for repentance, none for pardon left? 
 
 —Book IV: yg. 
 
 How beauty is excelled by manly grace 
 And wisdom, which alone is truly fair. 
 
 — Book IV : 4go. 
 
 Live while ye may. 
 
 — Book IV : jj. 
 
 So little knows 
 Any, but God alone, to value right 
 The good before him, but perverts best things 
 To worst abuse, or to their meanest use. 
 
 — Book IV : 201. 
 
 In their looks divine 
 The image of their glorious Maker shone. 
 Truth, wisdom, sanctitude severe and pure. 
 
 — Book IV : 2gi. 
 
 Lives there who loves his pain ? 
 
 —Book IV: 888. 
 
 (15) 
 
In the soul 
 Are many lesser faculties that serve 
 Reason as chief : among these Fancy next 
 Her office holds : of all external things 
 Which the five watchful senses represent, 
 She forms imaginations' aery shapes, 
 Which Reason joining or disjoining, frames 
 All that we affirm or what deny, and call 
 Our knowledge or opinion ; then retires 
 Into her private cell when Nature rests. 
 Oft in her absence mimic Fancy wakes 
 To imitate her, but misjoining shapes, 
 Wild work produces oft, and most in dreams, 
 111 matching words and deeds long past or late. 
 
 — Book I': loo. 
 
 Be not dishearten'd then, nor cloud those looks 
 
 That wont to be more cheerful and serene 
 
 Than when fair morning first smiles on the world. 
 
 — Book V : 122. 
 
 Well we may afford 
 Our givers their own gifts, and large bestow 
 From large bestow'd. 
 
 —Book V : ji6. 
 
 That thou art happy, owe to God ; 
 
 That thou continuest such, owe to thyself ; 
 
 That is, to thy obedience : therein stand. 
 
 — Book V : j20. 
 (i6) 
 
-Book V : joj. 
 
 Meanwhile enjoy 
 Your fill what happiness this happy state 
 Can comprehend, incapable of more. 
 
 For time, though in eternity, apply'd 
 To motion, measures all things durable 
 By present, past and future. 
 
 —Book V : ^80. 
 
 Him who disobeys. 
 Me disobeys, breaks union, and that day 
 Cast out from God, and blessed vision, falls 
 Into utter darkness, deep engulph'd, his place 
 Ordain'd without redemption, without end. 
 
 — Book V : 611. 
 
 Shalt thou give law to God ? Shalt thou dispute 
 With Him the points of liberty, who made 
 Thee what thou art ? 
 
 —Book V : 822. 
 
 How few sometimes may know, when thousands err. 
 
 —Book VI : 1 48. 
 
 Sense of pleasure we may well 
 
 Spare out of life perhaps, and not repine, 
 
 But live content, which is the calmest life : 
 
 But pain is perfect misery, the worst 
 
 Of evils, and excessive, overturns 
 
 All patience. 
 
 — Book VI : 4jg. 
 
 (17) 
 
Two days are therefore past, the third is thine ; 
 For thee I have ordain'd it, and thus far 
 Have suffer'd, that the glory may be thine. 
 
 — Booh l^I : 6gg. 
 
 Thus measuring things in Heav'n by things on Earth, 
 
 At thy request, and that thou may'st beware 
 
 By what is past, to thee I have reveal'd 
 
 What might have else to human race been hid, 
 
 The discord which befel, and was in Heav'n 
 
 Among th' Angelic Pow'rs, and the deep fall 
 
 Of those too high aspiring. 
 
 —Book VI : Sgj. 
 
 Night with her will bring 
 Silence and sleep list'ning to thee will watch. 
 
 — Book VII : lOj. 
 
 Let it profit thee to have heard, 
 
 By terrible example, the reward 
 
 Of disobedience. Firm they might have stood, 
 
 Yet fell. Remember and fear to transgress. 
 
 — Book VI : gog. 
 
 Knowledge is as food, and needs no less 
 Her temp'rance over appetite, to know 
 In measure what the mind may well contain ; 
 Oppresses else with surfeit, and soon turns 
 Wisdom to follv, as nourishment to wind. 
 
 —Book VII : 126. 
 (18) 
 
Consider first that great 
 Or bright infers not excellence : the earth, 
 Though in comparison of Heav'n, so small. 
 Nor glit'ring may of solid good contain 
 More plenty than the sun that barren shines ; 
 Whose virtue on itself works no effect. 
 
 —Book VIII : go. 
 
 Spite then with spite is best repaid. 
 
 —Book IX : lyS. 
 
 But apt the mind or fancy is to rove 
 
 Uncheck'd, and of her roving is no end ; 
 
 Till warn'd, or by experience taught, she learn 
 
 That not to know at large of things remote 
 
 From use, obscure and subtle, but to know 
 
 That which before us lies in daily life, 
 
 Is the prime wisdom; what is more is fume, 
 
 Or emptiness, or fond impertinence. 
 
 And renders us, in things that most concern, 
 
 Unpracticed, unprepared, and still to seek. 
 
 —Book r/II: iSS. 
 
 To attain 
 The height and depth of Thy eternal ways. 
 All human thoughts come short, Supreme of things! 
 Thou in Thyself art perfect, and in Thee 
 Is no deficience found. Not so is Man, 
 But in degree ; the cause of his desire 
 By conversation with his like to help, 
 Or solace his defects. 
 
 — Book J^III : 412. 
 (19) 
 
Who aspires must down as low 
 
 As high he soar'd; obnoxious first or last 
 
 To basest things. Revenge, at first though sweet, 
 
 Bitter ere long, back on itself recoils. 
 
 For solitude sometimes is best society. 
 And short retirement urges sweet return. 
 
 Trial will come unsought. 
 
 Can envy dwell 
 
 In heav'nly breasts ? 
 
 —Book IX : i6g. 
 
 — Book JX : 24g. 
 —Book IX : j66. 
 
 — Book IX : jsg. 
 
 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, 
 Till thou return unto the ground : * * 
 For dust thou art, and shalt to dust return. 
 
 What can I increase 
 Or multiply, but curses on my head ? 
 
 -Book X : 20^. 
 
 ■Book X : jji. 
 
 Conscience! into what abyss of fears 
 
 And horrors hast thou driven me ? out of which 
 
 1 find no way! from deep to deeper plunged! 
 
 —Book X : 842. 
 (20) 
 
While yet we live, scarce one short hour perhaps, 
 Between us two let there be peace. 
 
 — Book X : g2j. 
 
 Let us no more contend, nor blame 
 Each other, blamed enough elsewhere, but strive 
 In offices of love, how we may lighten 
 Each other's burden, in our share of woe. 
 
 —Book X : g^8. 
 
 Miserable it is 
 To be to others cause of miserv- 
 
 —Book X : gSi. 
 
 With labour I must earn 
 My bread. What harm.? Idlenesss had been worse; 
 My labour will sustain me. 
 
 — Book X : 10^4. 
 
 Easily niay faith admit, that all 
 The good which we enjoy from Heav'n descends. 
 
 — Book XI : 141. 
 
 Nor love thy life, nor hate; but what thou liv'st 
 Live well : how long, or short, permit to heav'n. 
 
 — Book XI : j-jj. 
 
 Lament not, but patiently resign 
 
 What justly thou hast lost ; nor set \\\y heart 
 
 Thus over-fond, on that which is not thine. 
 
 —Book XI: 2S7. 
 (21) 
 
Judge not what is best by pleasure. 
 
 O visions ill foreseen ! Better had I 
 Lived ignorant of future, so had borne 
 Mj part of evil only, each day's lot 
 Enough to bear! 
 
 ■Boo^ XI : 6oj. 
 
 — Book XI : ybj. 
 
 Let no man seek 
 Henceforth to be foretold what shall befal 
 Him or his children : evil he may be sure, 
 Which neither his foreknowing can prevent; 
 And he the future evil shall no less 
 In apprehension than in substance feel 
 Grievous to bear. 
 
 — Book XI: 770. 
 
 For on earth 
 Who against faith and conscience can be heard 
 Infallible? 
 
 —Book XII: 328. 
 
 Fame in the world, high titles and rich prey, 
 Shall change their course to pleasui-e, ease and sloth, 
 Surfeit and lust, till wantonness and pride 
 Raise out of friendship hostile deeds in peace. 
 
 —Book XI : 8()3. 
 (22) 
 
Faithful found among the faithless. 
 
 —Book V : Sg6. 
 
 He will instruct us praj'ing, and of grace 
 Beseeching Him, so as we need not fear 
 To pass commodiously this life, sustain'd 
 Bj Him with many comforts, till we end 
 In dust: our final rest and native home. 
 What better can we do, than to the place 
 Repairing where He judged us, prostrate fall 
 Before Him, reverent, and there confess 
 Humblv our faults, and pardon beg, with tears 
 Watering the ground, and with our sighs the air 
 Frequenting, sent from hearts contrite, in sign 
 Of sorrow unfeign'd, and humiliation meek.'* 
 
 — Book X : 1081. 
 
 Go in thy native innocence, relv 
 
 On what thou hast of virtue, summon all, 
 
 For God tow'rds thee hath done His part; do thine . 
 
 —Book IX: 373. 
 
 Servant of God, well done ! well hast thou fought 
 
 The better fight. 
 
 —Book VI : 2g. 
 
 (^3) 
 
Love refines 
 The thoughts, and heart enlarges; hath his seat 
 In reason, and is judicious; is the scale 
 By whicli to heav'nly love thou may'st ascend. 
 
 —Book VIII : sSg. 
 
 Freelj we serve, 
 Because we freely love; as in our will 
 To love or not. 
 
 ■Book V: SJS. 
 
 God is thy law, thou mine; to know no more 
 Is woman's happiest knowledge and her praise. 
 
 —Book TV: 637. 
 
 Grace was in her steps ! Heav'n in her eye ! 
 In ev'ry gesture dignity and love ! 
 
 -Book VIII: 488. 
 
 Smiles from reason flow 
 * * * And are of love the food. 
 
 — Book IX : 2:}g. 
 
 (24) 
 
And what is faith, love, virtue unessay'd 
 Alone, without exterior help sustain'd? 
 
 —Book IX: 3JS' 
 
 For nothing lovelier can be found 
 In woman, than to study household good, 
 And good works in her husband to promote. 
 
 —Book IX: 232. 
 
 With thee to go, 
 Is to sta}' here; without thee here to stay, 
 Is to go hence unwillingly; thou to me 
 Art all things under Heav'n. 
 
 —Book XII : 61 J. 
 
 In solitude 
 What happiness? Who can enjoy alone, 
 Or all enjoying, what contentment find? 
 
 —Book VIII : 364. 
 
 Be strong, live happv. and love. 
 
 —Book VIII: 633.

Death thou hast seen 
 In his first shape on Man ; but many shapes 
 Of Death, and many are the ways that lead 
 To his grim cave, all dismal : yet to sense 
 More terrible at th' entrance than within. 
 
 —Boo/e XI: 466. 
 
 It was but breath 
 Of life that sinn'd. What dies but what had life 
 And sin? The body properly, hath neither. 
 All of me then shall die. Let this appease 
 The doubt, since human reach no further knows; 
 For though the Lord of all be infinite, 
 Is His wrath also.-* Be it, Man is not so, 
 But mortal doom'd. How can He exercise 
 Wrath without end on Man whom death must end ^ 
 Can He make deathless death ? 
 
 —Book X: jSg. 
 
 But Death comes not at call; Justice divine 
 Mends not her slowest pace for pray'rs or cries. 
 
 —Book X: 8s 8. 
 (26) 
 
How gladly would I meet 
 Mortality, mj sentence, and be earth 
 Insensible ! How glad would lay me down, 
 As in my Mother's lap! There I should rest, 
 And sleep secure. 
 
 — Book X : 775. 
 
 Ah, why should all mankind 
 For one man's fault thus guiltless be condemn'd, 
 If guiltless ? 
 
 —Book X: 822. 
 
 O miserable of happy I Is this the end 
 
 Of this new glorious world, and me so late 
 
 The glory of that glory, who now become 
 
 Accursed of blessed, hide me from the fice 
 
 Of God ! whom lo behold was then my height 
 
 Of happiness? Yet well, if here would end 
 
 The misery. 
 
 — Book X : 720. 
 
 Wrath shall be no more 
 Thenceforth, but in Thy presence joj' entire.

 And after all their tribulations long 
 
 See golden days, fruitful of golden deeds, 
 
 With jov and love triumphing, and fair truth.

Thou hast given me to possess 
 Life in myself forever; by Thee I live, 
 Though now to death I yield, and am his due, 
 All that of me can die; yet that debt paid. 
 Thou Avilt not leave me in the loathsome grave, 
 His prey, nor suffer my unspotted soul 
 For ever with corruption there to dwell; 
 But I shall rise victorious, and subdue 
 Mv V^anquisher. 
 
 — Book III : 243.

With glorv and pow'r to judge both quick and dead; 
 To judge th' unfaithful dead, but to reward 
 His taithful, and receive them into liliss, 
 Whether in Heav'n or Eartli : for then the Earth 
 Shall all be Paradise; far happier place 
 Than this of Eilen, and far happier days,
