ANOTHER MILTON SONNET. . Here is a sonnet by John Milt . It is extremely unlikely that you ha v e seen it before — ON THE LIBRARIE AT CAMBRIDGE. In that great maze of books I sighed and said: * *• J t is a graveyard, and each tome a tombe ; Shrouded in hempen rags, behold the dead. Coflined and ranged in crypts of dismal gloom ; Food for the worm and redolent of meld. Traced with brief epitaph in tarnished gold. Ah, golden lettered hope! Ah, dolorous gloom! Yet, ’mid the common death, where all is cold, And mildewed pride in desolation dwells, A few great immortalities of old Stand brightly forth —not tombes but living shrines, Where from high samte or martyr virtue wells ; ' Which on the living yet work miracles, Spreading a relic wealth richer than golden mines. This is poor Miltonian ; but it was first published in 1628, and written (probably) when the poet was a very young man, before the darkness had matured his gift of splendid song. It is interesting, as the unknown work of any great man must be. Such are the spoils of the student. There is joy in a discovery of good. The fact is proved every day in the experience of the happy people who, having wasted money on inferior teas for years, restore their systems and rejuvenate their minds by trying—“SURATURA” The result is invariably the same. The map or woman who once drinks SURATURA TEA is uever again content with inferior stuff. A CARD.J PRIVATE NURSING HOME, Johnson Street, Foxton.
