In fact, this is an argument that's been made a number of times, and I think there's a lot of sense to it -the last eight lines of Lycidas are written in a very specific line form the Italian scheme of the ottava rima.

这是一个的确曾被无数次提到的观点，并且我也认为这个观点确实有一定道理,利西达斯的最后8行是以一种非常特殊的体裁写的,即意大利式的八行诗。

I think that Milton intends for us to think of the verse in Paradise Lost as he wanted us to think of books in Areopagitica: the lines of Milton's poetry are not absolutely dead things, but they do contain within them a potency of life.

弥尔顿在《论出版自由中》让我们把书看作是肉体,我想他也想让我们这样看待《失乐园》的诗句：,弥尔顿的诗句不是毫无生气的，它们蕴含着生命的潜质。
