Suitede Desrochers. Se vend Paris chez Petit a la Couronne d'epines rue S. Jacques. Par la sublimite de son double Poeme Le celebre Milton semble entre Homere meme; Et sices grands auteurs sont fort pareils entre eux, Par leur esprit fecond et rempli de lumieres, La malice du sort offus quant leur paupieres, Pour mieux les rendre egaux, les aveugla tous deux." Translation from French: "John Milton, author of the poem Paradise Lost and Paradise Found, born in London in 1608, died in 1674. Suite de Desrochers. Sells in Paris Small Crown of Thorns Street St. Jacques. By the sublimity of his double poem, the famous Milton seems close to Homer himself; And great authors are very like them, with their fertile spirits, full of lights. The malice of fate made them both equally blind."
