Maxioms by John Milton
Rocks whereon greatest men have oftest wreck'd.
Rocks whereon greatest men have oftest wreck'd.
Law can discover sin, but not remove,
Save by those shadowy expiations weak.
Law can discover sin, but not remove,
Save by those shadowy expiations weak.
'Tis chastity, my brother, chastity;
She that has that is clad in complete steel,
And, like a read more
'Tis chastity, my brother, chastity;
She that has that is clad in complete steel,
And, like a quiver'd nymph with arrows keen,
May trace huge forests, and unharbour'd heaths,
Infamous hills, and sandy perilous wilds;
Where, through the sacred rays of chastity,
No savage fierce, bandite, or mountaineer,
Will dare to soil her virgin purity.
Far from all resort of mirth, / Save the cricket on the hearth!
Far from all resort of mirth, / Save the cricket on the hearth!
Eye me, blest Providence, and square my trial
To my proportion'd strength.
Eye me, blest Providence, and square my trial
To my proportion'd strength.
