Abstract
Continuing the heroic lyrical tradition of Horace and Tasso, John Milton writes "Sonnet X" and "Sonnet XXI" about actual persons living in mid-seventeenth-century England, the Lady Margaret Ley and Cyriack Skinner, respectively. In these short poems, he combines praise or admonition for the living with adulation for a deceased forbear.
