“On his Twenty Third Birthday” by John Milton

The sonnet was written when Milton was twenty-three years old. It expresses his disappointment at his non-achievement. He is painted to realize that he has not achieved anything and not composed any poem of good worth.
It is an autobiographical sonnet. It is first, a consideration of Milton’s little achievement to date, and secondly, a renewed and more decisive dedication of himself to God’s will and be at his mercy. Dedication has the effect of resolving his doubts and fears about not being successful.
