Milton's own Ideas of the Universe too, which no doubt he had gathered from astronomical Authors, and had reconciled himself to, we are fully made acquainted with in the same Book, where the Arch-angel says, in answer to Adam's Enquiries.
——Other Suns perhaps
With their attendant Moons thou wilt descry
Communicating Male and Female Light,
Which two great Sexes animate the World,
Stor'd in each Orb, perhaps with some that live:
For such vast Room in Nature, unpossest
By living Soul, desert and desolate,
Only to shine, yet scarce to contribute
Each Orb a Glimpse of Light, convey'd so far
