Stanley Fish disputes Robert Graves's assertion that the author of this poem misplaced its lines beginning "Oft listn'inghow the hounds and horn / Clearly rouse the slumbering morn." This poem invokes Ariel's promise to Prospero in Act IV ofThe Tempest with its command "Come, and trip it as ye go / On the light fantastick toe." Characters in this poem exchange"Quips and Cranks, and wanton Wiles, Nods, and Becks, and wreathed Smiles," and tell stories over delicious glasses of "SpicyNut-brown Ale." The speaker of this poem wishes to be "lap[ped] in soft Lydian aires" so that he can, like Orpheus, makePluto "set free / His half-regain'd Eurydice." The bulk of this 152-line poem is in octosyllabic couplets, following the introductoryten-line stanza in which the speaker banishes his previous muse to "the dark Cimmerian desert." It ends with the couplet"These delights, if thou canst give, Mirth with thee, I mean to live." For 10 points, name this sprightly poem Milton wrote asa companion to "Il Penseroso."
