Shakespeare and Milton
From Works and Life, ed. Forster, vol. VIII (1876)
Arts & Sciences
The tongue of England, that which myriads
Have spoken and will speak, were paralyzed
Hereafter, but two mighty men stand forth
Above the flight of ages, two alone;
One crying out,
All nations spoke thro ' me.
The other:
True; and thro ' this trumpet burst
God's word; the fall of Angels, and the doom
First of immortal, then of mortal, Man,
Glory! be Glory! not to me, to God.
