    John Milton

    John Milton was a seventeenth-century English poet, polemicist, and civil servant in the government of Oliver Cromwell. Among Milton’s best-known works are the classic epic Paradise Lost, Paradise Regained, considered one of the greatest accomplishments in English blank verse, and Samson Agonistes. Writing during a period of tremendous religious and political change, Milton’s theology and politics were considered radical under King Charles I, found acceptance during the Commonwealth period, and were again out of fashion after the Restoration, when his literary reputation became a subject for debate due to his unrepentant republicanism. T.S. Eliot remarked that Milton’s poetry was the hardest to reflect upon without one’s own political and theological beliefs intruding.

      Psalms - John Milton

      Psalms

      PSALM I.

      (Done into Verse, 1653 )

       BLESS’D is the man who hath not walk’d astray

       In counsel of the wicked, and ith’way

       Of sinners hath not stood, and in the seat

       Of scorners hath not sate.  But in the great

       Jehovahs Law is ever his delight,

       And in his law he studies day and night.

       He shall be as a tree which planted grows

       By watry streams, and in his season knows

       To yield his fruit, and his leaf shall not fall.

       And what he takes in hand shall prosper all.                         10

       Not so the wicked, but as chaff which fann’d

       The wind drives, so the wicked shall not stand

       In judgment, or abide their tryal then

       Nor sinners in th’assembly of just men.

       For the Lord knows th’upright way of the just

       And the way of bad men to ruine must.

      PSALM II.

      (Done Aug. 8. 1653. Terzetti.)

       WHY do the Gentiles tumult, and the Nations

       Muse a vain thing, the Kings of th’earth upstand

       With power, and Princes in their Congregations

       Lay deep their plots together through each Land,

       Against the Lord and his Messiah dear.

       Let us break off; say they, by strength of hand

       Their bonds, and cast from us, no more to wear,

       Their twisted cords: he who in Heaven doth dwell

       Shall laugh, the Lord shall scoff them, then severe

       Speak to them in his wrath, and in his fell                          10

       And fierce ire trouble them; but
