| William Blake (1757–1827). The Poetical Works. 1908. | | | | Selections from ‘Milton’ | | [Whitefield and Wesley] |
| | (Milton, f. 20, l. 61–f. 22, l. 5.)
HE sent his two Servants, Whitefield and Wesley: were they Prophets, | |
| Or were they Idiots or Madmen?—Show us Miracles! | |
| Can you have greater Miracles than these? Men who devote | |
| Their life’s whole comfort to entire scorn and injury and death? | |
| Awake! thou sleeper on the Rock of Eternity, Albion, awake! | 5 |
| The trumpet of Judgement hath twice sounded: all Nations are awake, | |
| But thou art still heavy and dull. Awake, Albion, awake! | | | | |
