"What thou canst attain, which best may serve

To glorify the Maker, and infer

Thee also happier, shall not be withheld

Thy hearing.

....

beyond abstain

To ask, nor let thine own invention hope
Things not reveal'd, which the invisible King,
Only omniscient, hath suppress'd in night,
To none communicable in earth and heaven:
Enough is left besides to search or know."

MILTON, Par. Lost. vii. 115-125.
