	John Milton
		Milton's powerful, rhetoric prose and the eloquence of his poetry had an immense influence especially on the 18th-century verse.
		Milton was educated at St Paul's School and then at Christ's College, Cambridge (1625-32), where he was called, half in scorn, "The Lady of Christ's." During his Cambridge period, while considering himself destined for the ministry, he began to write poetry in Latin, Italian, and English.
