After an attempt to seek a divorce, she returned to Milton and three daughters were born of the marriage; they later became his somewhat unwilling scribes.
Milton's early poems have a baroque luxuriousness, a rich and sensuous use of imagery and cadence, while his later works are more sober, the blank verse more measured in its mixture of classical and English diction.
Milton's verse is not always the ‘organ voice’ for which he is notorious; it is a flexible medium, capable of great precision and subtlety.

Milton Abbas is a village in Dorset in the south-west of England, approximately seven miles south-west of the market town of Blandford Forum and 11 miles north-east of Dorchester.
In 1780, Joseph Damer, Lord Milton, the first Earl of Dorchester and owner of Milton Abbey, decided that the nearby village, Middleton, was disturbing his vision of rural peace.
The 36 quaint white-washed and thatched cottages are each fronted by a lawn; originally, a chestnut tree was planted between each dwelling, but, aged and ravaged by disease, the trees were removed in 1953.
