[Milton-L] dictating PL

Try Darbishire,'Early Lives', pp. 33 and 291. Richardson gives some 40 lines a night, but of course he's a generation or two later.

  I'm sure I could find this information if I were to look in the biographies, but this path seems easier.  My students asked, "about how many lines of Paradise Lost did Milton compose on a given night?"  Does anyone on the list have a ballpark answer? 

  Thanks.--Margie
