Alterations of Milton.

1. The State of Innocence, or the Fall of Man. An opera, in rhyme, by Dryden. 4to. 1674.

II. Milton's Paradise Lost imitated in rhyme. In the fourth, sixth, and ninth books; containing The Primitive Loves, The Battle of the Angels, The Fall of Man. By Mr. John Hopkins. Lond. 8vo. 1699. This rhymist opens his Preface thus: "It has been the misfortune of one of my name to affront the sacred prose of David with intolerable rhyme; and 'tis mine, I fear, to have abus'd allmost as sacred verse !"-But he adds, by way of averting censure, that he was partly induced to put Milton into rhyme, according to his intimation in the Preface, in order to oblige the ladies!

III. A Paraphrase in verse, on part of the first book of Milton's

Paradise Lost, by W. Howard. 4to. London. Printed for the author, 1738. The title-page was varied. For the author, an aged and infirm man, in order to relieve his wants, circulated his paraphrase by printing on every title-page an address to some distinguished person. My copy is inscribed to the Duchess of Bolton.

IV. Comus, a Mask. Now adapted to the Stage. As altered from Milton's Mask. By Dr. Dalton. Lond. 12mo. 1735. This judicious and elegant alteration has been often reprinted, both in 12mo. and in 8vo. It was received with the highest applause on its first representation. The Songs were set to musick by Dr. Arne.

measure and versification are corrected and harmonized; the obscurities elucidated; and the faults, which the author stands accused of by Addison and other of the criticks, are removed. With annotations on the original text, to shew the reasonableness of this new Version!! By a Gentleman of Oxford. 8vo. 1756. The name of this doughty reformer, shrouding himself under a fictitious title, was Green. See Farmer's Essay on the Learning of Shakspeare, 3d. edit. p. 27. Of this New Version only the first book appeared. . The performance indeed is a most striking example of vanity and absurdity united. XIV. Tanevot, a learned Frenchman, has been supposed to be indebted to Milton in his tragedy of Adam and Eve, which was published with his other works in 1765. See Nouv. Dict: Hist. à Caen, Tanevot, (Alexandre.)
