About 1600 he married Sara Jeffrey, the wealthy daughter of a merchant-tailor.
Three of their children survived infancy: Anne, John, and Christopher.

Milton is best known for Paradise Lost, widely regarded as the greatest epic poem in English.
The young Milton was known for his devotion to his studies, and his early interest in poetry.
In 1628 Milton wrote his first major English poem, On the Death of a Fair Infant, Dying of the Cough, about the death of his sister's baby.
A year later he wrote On the Morning of Christ's Nativity, celebrating the harmonizing power of divine love.
Milton influenced many writers.
Some, like John Dryden (1631–1700), admired his work and used it as the basis for their own writing.
Others, including Alexander Pope (1688–1744), poked fun at it.
