Question
This writer of a prose satire called “Areopagitica in shorthand” engages in one of Walter Savage Landor’s Imaginary Conversations with his enemy Bishop Samuel Parker. In one poem, this poet praises another author’s verse which was “created like thy Theme sublime” and that “needs not rhyme.” The polemical The Rehearsal Transpros’d is by this author whose poem “On Mr. Milton’s Paradise Lost” is included in most modern editions of Paradise Lost. In one poem, this poet described the “happy (*) garden-state / While man there walked without a mate.” That poem, which describes the mind’s “annihilating all that’s made / To a green thought in a green shade,” was written by this one-time Milton amanuensis, who elsewhere described the slow growth of “vegetable love.” For 10 points, what contemporary of John Milton wrote the poems “The Garden” and “To His Coy Mistress?” ■END■
