The following allusion to Perseus is from Milman's "Samor": "As'mid the fabled Libyan bridal stood Perseus in stern tranquillity of wrath, Half stood, half floated on his ankle-plumes Out-swelling, while the bright face on his shield Looked into stone the raging fray; so rose, But with no magic arms, wearing alone Th' appalling and control of his firm look, The Briton Samor; at his rising awe Went abroad, and the riotous hall was mute."
Kitty has been imploring her mother to allow her to go out into the world as her friends have done, if only for once. "Fondness prevailed, mamma gave way; Kitty, at heart's desire, Obtained the chariot for a day, And set the world on fire." Milman, in his poem of Samor, makes the following allusion to Phaeton's story:
On this particular morning, while mama was at market, she tried again, commencing with the first number on her mama's list. Taking down the receiver, she called out, "Hullo!" the answer came back, "Hullo!" "I wants A 215," said Honey, holding the receiver to her ear. "Yes," came the reply. "Are you Miss Samor?" asked Honey. "Yes," was the reply.
A parallel between the Rev. Mr. Milman and Lord Byron. I have not succeeded in finding this parallel. The Quarterly Review for July 1818 contains a critique of Milman's poem, Samor, Lord of the Bright City; and the number for May 1820, a critique of Milman's Fall of Jerusalem. Neither of these notices draws any parallel such as Shelley speaks of. What gnat did they strain at here.
On the other hand, 'Samor' and 'Anne Boleyn' were almost absolute failures, and, on the whole, the longer poems of Milman have not retained their popularity, and probably now rarely find a reader. Those who turn to them will certainly be struck by the command of language and metre they display. It was shown both in rhyme and in blank verse.

The tragedy of 'Fazio' was written when he was still at Oxford, and it was speedily followed by a long and ambitious epic poem called 'Samor, Lord of the Bright City'; by three elaborate sacred dramas, the 'Fall of Jerusalem, the 'Martyr of Antioch, and 'Belshazzar'; and by an historical tragedy on 'Anne Boleyn, as well as by a few minor poems. Some of these works had considerable popularity.
Milman, in his poem of "Samor," makes the following allusion to Phaeton's story: "As when the palsied universe aghast Lay mute and still, When drove, so poets sing, the Sun-born youth Devious through Heaven's affrighted signs his sire's Ill-granted chariot.
