In "il penseroso," john milton describes how the poem's melancholy speaker prefers gentle and soothing dreams of sleep to the harsh light of day. which lines in this excerpt from "l'allegro" contrast with those ideas?
there let hymen oft appear
in saffron robe, with taper clear,
and pomp, and feast, and revelry,
with mask, and antique pageantry;
such sights as youthful poets dream
on summer eves by haunted stream.
then to the well-trod stage anon,
if jonson's learned sock be on,
or sweetest shakespeare, fancy's child,
warble his native wood-notes wild.
and ever against eating cares,
lap me in soft lydian airs,
married to immortal verse,
such as the meeting soul may pierce
in notes with many a winding bout
of linked sweetness long drawn out,
