English Fairy Tales, XXI. Childe Rowland., sentence 31

Such a minute resemblance as this cannot be accidental, and it is therefore probable that Milton used the original form of “Childe Rowland,” or some variant of it, as heard in his youth, and adapted it to the purposes of the masque at Ludlow Castle, and of his allegory.

Who acts: minute resemblance, resemblance, Milton, variant, masque · What happens: not be, be, use, hear, adapt, form · To what, where: original form, youth, form, purposes, Childe
