John Milton, from At a Vacation Exercise, 1628

Then sing of secret things that came to pass 

When beldam Nature in her cradle was; 

And last of kings and queens and heroes old,

In solemn songs at king Alcinous' feast, 

While sad Ulysses' soul and all the rest 

Are held with his melodious harmony 

In willing chains and sweet captivity.
