John Milton ( 1608-1674 )

What in me is dark
Illumine, what is low raise and support;
That to the height of this great argument
I may assert eternal Providence
And justify the ways of God to Men.
Sleep on,
Blest pair; and O yet happiest if ye seek
No happier state, and know to know no more.
Then wilt thou not be loth
To leave this Paradise, but shalt possess
A Paradise within thee, happier far.
All night the dreadless angel unpursued
Through Heaven's wide champain held his way till morn,
Waked by the circling hours, with rosy hand
Unbarred the gates of light.
