This passage from John Milton’s 1667 epic poem, Paradise Lost, features Adam and Eve instructing the Sun to praise God, its creator, during their morning hymn. They emphasize that all elements of creation, from rising to setting, are duty-bound to honor the Divine. Themes highlighted in these lines include the hierarchical nature of creation, the duty of the universe to worship God, and the beauty found in divine order.
