Needless to say, the satisfaction of John Milton, Sr. will have to be postponed to the great hereafter. He will not be able to reap the profit of his investment in his son's study until not only after his own death, but of course after his son's death as well. That's Milton's logic here.

这个名字已经历经了好几个世纪，不用怀疑,弥尔顿父亲的赔偿会继续延续下去,但他却不能在有生之年享受到他对儿子支持的回报，在弥尔顿死后也一样享受不到，这就是弥尔顿的逻辑。
