Poet Analysis

First Line: THE NEW WORLD HONORS HIM WHOSE LOFTY PLEA
Last Line: THEIR COMMON FREEHOLD WHILE BOTH WORLDS ENDURE.
Subject(s): MILTON, JOHN (1608-1674);

For England's freedom made her own more sure,
Whose song, immortal as its theme, shall be
Their common freehold while both worlds endure.
