Arcades and Comus are masques set to music by English composer Henry Lawes; their themes are, respectively, family affection and chastity.
Soon after his return, Milton settled in London and began teaching his nephews, Edward and John Phillips, while deliberating on various subjects as the possible theme for the great poem which he looked forward to writing.
