described in Milton, who represents Eve, tho' in Paradise it felf, no further pleased with the beautiful Objects around her, than as she fees them in Company with Adam, in that Paffage fo inexpreffibly charming.

With Thee converfing, I forget all Time,
All Seafons, and their Change; all please alike.
Sweet is the Breath of Morn, her Rifing Sweet
With Charm of earliest Birds; pleafant the Sun,
When first on this delightful Land he spreads
His Orient Beams, on Herb,Tree, Fruit and Flower;
Glift'ring with Dew; fragrant the fertile Earth
After foft Showers, and Sweet the coming on
Of grateful Evening mild; the filent Night,
With this her folemn Bird, and this fair Moon,
And thefe the Gems of Heaven her Starry Train.
But neither Breath of Morn when she afcends
With Charm of earliest Birds, nor rifing Sun
In this delightful Land, nor Herb, Fruit, Flower,
Glift'ring with Dew, nor Fragrance after Showers,
Nor grateful Evening mild, nor filent Night,
With this her folemn Bird, nor Walk by Moon,
Or glittering Star-light, without Thee is sweet.

The Variety of Images in this Paffage is infinitely pleafing, and the Recapitulation of each particular Image, with a little varying of the Expreffion, makes one of the finest Turns of Words that I have ever feen: Which I rather mention, because Mr. Dryden has faid in his Preface to Juvenal, That he could meet with no Turn of Words in Milton.

It may further be obferved, That though the Sweetness of these Verses has fomething in it of a Pastoral, yet it excels the ordinary Kind, as much as the Scene of it is above an ordinary Field or Meadow. I might here, fince I am accidentally led into this Subject, show several Paffages in Milton that have as excellent Turns of this Nature, as any of our English Poets whatsoever; but shall only mention that which follows, in which he defcribes the Fallen Angels engaged in the intricate Difputes of Predeftination, Free-will, and Fore-knowledge; and to humour the Perplexity, makes a Kind of Labyrinth in the very Words that describe it.

Others apart fat on a Hill retir'd,

In Thoughts more elevate, and reafon'd high
Of Providence, Fore-knowledge, Will and Fate,
Fix'd Fate, Free-will, Fore-knowledge abfolute,
And found no End in wand'ring Mazes loft.
