While the cock with lively din Scatters the rear o · John Milton

And every shepherd tells his tale Under the hawtho

While the cock with lively din Scatters the rear of darkness thin, And to the stack, or the barn door, Stoutly struts his dames before, Oft list’ning how the hounds and horn Cheerly rouse the slumb’ring morn.

John Milton was an English poet, polemicist, and civil servant for the Commonwealth of England under Oliver Cromwell. He is best known for his epic poem "Paradise Lost," one of the greatest works of English literature. Milton's work is characterized by its grand scope, theological depth, and masterful use of blank verse. His life and work were deeply intertwined with the political and religious turmoil of 17th-century England. Despite facing significant personal challenges, including blindness, Milton produced a body of work that continues to be studied and admired for its intellectual rigor and poetic artistry.
