And here, though no doubt the poetic beauty reaches a climax in the song to Sabrina a song for pure music certainly unsurpassed and probably unequalled by anything else that Milton ever wrote there are others, such as 'By the rushy-fringed bank, as well as less distinctively lyrical passages, which come within measurable distance even of its perfection.
I have taken with several sets of children such passages from Milton as the "Echo Song," "Sabrina," "By the Rushy-fringed Bank," "Back, Shepherds, Back," from "Comus"; "May Morning," "Ode to Shakespeare," "Samson," "On His Blindness," etc. I even ventured on several passage from "Paradise Lost," and found "Now came still evening on" a particular favorite with the children.
