In one of this poet's works, the narrator desires for Mirth to be with "Jest and youthful Jollity" and "wanton Wiles" and ends by asserting that "I mean to live with [it]." This author wrote a closet drama in which the Philistine Dalila deceives the title character, who is "eyeless in Gaza." He is most famous for a work in which (*) Mammon and Beelzebub aid a character who claims that it is "better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven." In that work, Satan tempts Adam and Eve to commit "Man's first disobedience." For ten points, name this author of Samson Agonistes and Paradise Lost.
