In lines 133/134 of his pastoral poem "L'Allegro", also included in the 1645 Poems, Milton again celebrates Shakespeare in rhyming couplet:
Or sweetest Shakespeare, Fancy's child,
Warble his native wood-notes wild.
Here, Milton celebrates the originality or inventiveness of Shakespeare's creative or literary imagination, its force and transformative power. The Shakespeare whom Milton apostrophizes in "On Shakespeare" - "Dear son of Memory" - is here described as "Fancy's child". Milton seems to have identified the two resources every writer (worth the name) requires: inspiration and imagination; and it takes real talent to alchemize both into literature of lasting quality.
If Milton wrote this who am I to doubt Shakespeare’s imagination, inspiration, literary prowess and originality?
And what are we to make of the mysterious entry in “Romeo and Juliet”: "Would be better play if Romeo didn't prance about like such a nonce."?
Still gutted that Cardenio is lost. ( )
