Blank Verse and Religious Traditions
The Verse “The Measure is English Heroic Verse
without Rhyme, as that of Homer in Greek, and of Virgil in Latin; the Rhyme being no necessary Adjunct or true Ornament of Poem or good Verse, in longer works especially, but the invention of a barbarous age…”

Poetry and Theodicy
Instruct me for thou know’st; Thou from the first/ Wast present, and with mighty wings outspread/ Dove-like sat’st brooding on the vast Abyss/ And mad’st it pregnant: What in me is dark/ Illumine, what is low raise and support;/ That to the heighth of this great Argument/ I may assert Eternal Providence/ and justify the ways of God to men.

God’s “Umpire Conscience”“Thus while God spake,ambrosial fragrancefill’d / All Heaven”
Some I have chose of peculiar Grace/ Elect above the rest; So is my will: / The rest shall Hear me call…/ To pray, repent, And bring obedience due… / And I will place within them as a guide/ My Umpire Conscience…To expiate his Treason…The rigid satisfaction, death for death.
