![]() ![]() I finished the poem in the midst of a shelter-at-home order when our bishop has stopped all public masses.

I have a very old copy picked up at a library sale, but First Son and I found it difficult to read. The website had some helpful explanations of phrases and references. I read this ahead of First Son on the Dartmouth College John Milton Reading Room website. Mater Amabilis™ recommends Paradise Lost for Level 5 Year 2, tenth grade, in the epics portion of English. ![]()
