Criticism on Milton's Paradise lost From 'The Spectator' 31 December, 1711- 3 May, 1712 .. . s, and Violets, and Afphodel,And Hyacinth, Eartti s frefihefil foftefil they their fill of Love, and Loves difport CRITICISM OF BOOK IX. *25 Took largely, of their mutual guilt the Seal,The Solace of their Sin, Hill dewy fleepOpprefi d them As no Poet feems ever to have ftudied Homer more,or to have refembled him in the greatnefs of Geniusthan Milton, I think I fhoud have given but a veryimperfect Account of his Beauties, if I had not ob-served the mod remarkable Paffages which look likeParallels in thefe two great Authors. I might, in theCourfe of thefe Criticifms, have taken notice of many-particular Lines and Expreffions which are tranflatedfrom the Greek Poet, but as I thought this would haveappeared too minute and over-curious, I have pur-pofely omitted them. The greater Incidents, how-ever, are not only fet off by being mown in the fameLight, with feveral of the fame Nature in Homer, butby that means may be alfo guarded againft the Cavilsof the Taftelefs or Ignorant. ,.
