Then lies him down the lubber fiend,
And stretched out all the chimney's length,
Basks at the fire his hairy strength.

Additional quotes by John Milton

Solitude sometimes is best society.

He that has light within his own clear breast,
May sit i' the centre, and enjoy bright day;
But he that hides a dark soul, and foul thoughts,
Benighted walks under the mid-day sun;
Himself is his own dungeon.

Freely we serve,
Because we freely love,as in our will
To love or not;in this we stand or fall.

Then lies him down the lubber fiend, And stretched out all the chimney's length, Basks at the fire his hairy strength. - John Milton
