Excerpt from Paradise Lost: A Drama in Four Acts; Adapted From John Milton's Epic Poem
I have also endeavoured - to use Milton's own words as regards the drama - to show that tragedy is of power by raising pity and fear or terror, to purge the mind of those and suchlike passions that is, to temper and reduce them to just measure with a kind of delight, stirred up by reading or seeing these passions well imitated.
