It's just this double bind of vocation that's the subject of Sonnet VII, "How soon hath Time." That's the sonnet in which Milton laments the fact that he has turned twenty-three years old and has yet produced nothing that would indicate a shining poetic future.

第七篇十四行诗的主题就是这种职业窘境，“时间过得多快啊，“弥尔顿在这首诗里表达了,对自己都快23岁却没创作出什么,可以显示出他卓越天赋的诗的哀伤。
