Question

This writer wrote a prose satire Richard Leigh called “Areopagitica in shorthand” which was an attack on 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. This poet wrote that “Two paradises ’twere in one / To live in paradise alone” in a poem describing the (*) “state / While man there walked without a mate.” That poem, which describes the mind’s “annihilating all (10[1])that’s made (10[1])/ To (10[1])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■
