1 But I wish that Mr. Murray had not, following Matthew Arnold, given as Milton's—and without comment— ‘And courage never to submit or yield: And what is else not to be overcome.’ In the last line, he says, rightly, ‘the average English reader is conscious of a shock.’ But who administered it? Not Milton, but one of Milton's emenders. I have never believed in the emendation, nor understood why it has found such wide acceptance.
