RIGHT martial maid, queen of the frozen zone, The northern pole supports thy shining throne; * These verses were sent to Christina Queen of Sweden with Cromwell's picture, and are by some ascribed to Andrew Marvel, as by others to Milton: but I should rather think they were Milton's, being more within his province as Latin Secretary. A FRAG. A FRAGMENT, from the Italian; understand English. The short-pac'd efforts of a trammel'd Muse; And my mistaking passion thus accuse. Strive, in rough found, soft meaning to impart? And point his purpose at the healer's heart. Nymphs of thy native clime, perhaps they cry,. But we must understand ere we comply! Tell them, 'tis nothing, how, or what, I write; And Scorns the lame impertinence of wit. CONTENTS CONTENTS THE THIRD VOL U M E.
