This edition included a poem celebrating Shakespeare's achievements. As Jonathan Bate writes: "The works of Milton, notably his masque Comus, were steeped in Shakespearean language. The young Milton's first published poem was a sonnet prefixed to the second edition of the Folio, in which Shakespeare was said to have built himself 'a live-long Monument' in the form of his plays."
