Milton's Comus, Lycidas, And Other Poems is a collection of poems written by the famous English poet, John Milton. The book was originally published in 1899 and features some of Milton's most well-known works, including Comus and Lycidas. Comus is a masque, or a type of entertainment that was popular in the 17th century, that tells the story of a young woman who becomes lost in the woods and is tempted by the god of revelry, Comus. The poem explores themes of temptation, virtue, and the power of speech.Lycidas is an elegy written in memory of Milton's friend, Edward King, who drowned at sea. The poem is a meditation on the nature of loss and grief, and includes references to classical mythology and Christian themes.In addition to these two works, the book also includes other poems by Milton, such as On the Morning of Christ's Nativity, On Shakespeare, and On His Blindness. Overall, Milton's Comus, Lycidas, And Other Poems is a must-read for anyone interested in English poetry and literature.And Matthew Arnold�������s Address On Milton.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
