John Milton as a young man drawn and etched by G.B.Cipriani, a Tuscan, at the request of Thomas Hollis F.R. and A.SS from a picture in the collection of the Right Hon. Arthur Onslow Speaker of the Commons House of Parliament.............How soon hath time the suttle thief of youth, stolen on his wing my one and twentieth year, My hasting days fly on in full career, but my late spring no bud or blossom showeth, perhaps my semblance might deceive the truth that I to manhood am arrived so near, and inward ripeness does much less appear,........ and some more.
