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 could no further go; To make a third, she join'd the former two. - John Dryden, Under Mr. Milton's Picture (Homer, Virgil, Milton) Greece boasts her Homer, Rome can Virgil claim; England can either match in Milton's fame. [Lat., Graecia Maeonidam, jactet sibi Roma Maronem Anglia Miltonum jactat utrique parem.] - Salvaggi, Ad Joannem Miltonum That mighty orb of song, The divine Milton. - William Wordsworth, Excursion (bk. I, l. 252)
