but four, he thus addressed them:-- "I, John Bo-peep, to you four sheep, With each one his good fleece, If that you are willing to give me five shilling, 'Tis fifteen pence a-piece." "By Jesus," exclaimed Ben (his usual oath,) "I believe this is my son Randolph!" which being confessed, he was kindly entertained, and Ben ever after called him his son, and, on account of his learning, gaiety, and humour, and readiness of repartee, esteemed him equal to Cartwright. He also grew in favour with the wits and poets of the metropolis, but was cut off, some say of intemperance, at the age of twenty-nine. His brother was a member of Christ Church, Oxford, and printed his works in 1638. Amongst the _Memorabilia Cantabrigiæ_ of Milton is the fact, that his personal beauty obtained for him the _soubriquet_ of "THE LADY OF THE COLLEGE;" And that he set a full value on his fine exterior, is evident from the imperfect Greek lines, entitled, "_In Effigie ejus Sculptorem_," in Warton's second edition of his Poems. Some have supposed he had himself in view, in his delineation of the person of Adam. Every body knows that his "Paradise Lost" brought him and his posterity less than 20_l._: but every body does not know that there is a _Latin_ translation of it, in twelve books, in the Library of Trinity College, Cambridge, in MS., the work of one Mr. Power, a Fellow of that Society, who printed the First Book in 1691, and completed the rest at the Bermudas, where his difficulties had obliged him to fly, and from whence it was sent to Dr. Richard Bentley, to publish and pay his debts with. However, in spite of his creditors, it still remains in MS. The writer obtained, says Judge Hardinge, alluding I suppose, to "the tempest of his mind and of his habits," the _soubriquet_ of the "_Æolian Exile_." There is also a bust of Milton in the Library of Trinity College, and some of his juvenile poems, &c., in his own hand-writing. Cowley was bread at Trinity College. His bust, too, graces its Library, and his portrait its Hall. BOTH THESE ALUMNI, When students, wrote Latin as well as English verses, and the curious in such matters, on reference to this work, will be amused by the difference of feeling with which their _Alma Mater_ inspired them. To Cowley the _Bowers of Granta and the Camus_ were the very seat of inspiration; Milton thought no epithet too mean to express their charms: yet, says Dyer, in his supplement, "it is difficult to conceive a more brilliant example of youthful talent than Milton's Latin Poems of that period." Though they "are not faultless, they render what was said of Gray applicable to Milton-- 'HE NEVER WAS A BOY.'"
