John Milton, from At a Vacation Exercise, 1628
Then sing of secret
things that came to pass
When beldam Nature in
her cradle was;
And last of kings and
queens and heroes old,
Such as the wise
Demodocus once told
In solemn songs at king
Alcinous' feast,
While sad Ulysses'
soul and all the rest
Are held with his
melodious harmony
In willing chains and
sweet captivity.
