L'Allegro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
L'Allegro (1631) is a famous pastoral poem by John Milton.
The verses banish "loathèd Melancholy," invoke Euphrosyne and other allegorical figures of joy and merriment, and extols the active and cheerful life, depicting a day in the countryside according to this philosophy.
Two years later, Milton wrote a second, contrasting pastoral poem, Il Penseroso, which depicts a similar day spent in contemplation and thought.
