JOHN MILTON: UM INÉDITO

Descoberto um poema inédito do poeta John Milton, muito diferente da obra conhecida do autor, o que está a intrigar os especialistas.

An Extempore Upon A Faggot

Have you not in a Chimney seen

A Faggot which is moist and green

How coyly it receives the Heat

And at both ends do's weep and sweat?

So fares it with a tender Maid

When first upon her Back she's laid

But like dry Wood th' experienced Dame

Cracks and rejoices in the Flame.

John Milton (1608-1674)
