DRYDEN'S EPIGRAM ON MILTON.

DRYDEN'S EPIGRAM ON MILTON.

These lines appeared under the frontispiece portrait of Milton in
Tonson's 1688 4th Edition of Milton's Paradise Lost [see above].


Three Poets, in three distant Ages born,
Greece, Italy, and England did adorn.
The
 First in loftiness of thought surpass'd;
The
 Next in Majesty; in both the Last.
The force of Nature cou'd no farther goe:
To make a
 Third she joynd the former two.
