from Paradise Regained
Look once more e're we leave this specular Mount
Westward, much nearer by Southwest, behold
Where on the Ægean shore a City stands
Built nobly, pure the air, and light the soil,
Athens the eye of Greece, Mother of Arts
And Eloquence, native to famous wits
Or hospitable, in her sweet recess,
City or Suburban, studious walks and shades;
See there the Olive Groves of Academe,
Plato's retirement, where the Attic Bird
Trills her thick-warbl'd notes the summer long . . .
– John Milton (1671)
