With narrow search, and with inspection deep
Considered every creature, which of all
Most opportune might serve his wiles, and found
The serpent subtlest beast of all the field.”
—John Milton (16081674)

Nor made a pause, nor left a void;
And sure the Eternal Master found
The single talent well employed.”
