Burns was undoubtedly his literary master in verse and Milton in prose. He said of Burns to Mrs. Fields, He lives, next to Shakespeare, in the heart of humanity. Fields's Whittier, p. 51.

I think even such a scholar as Dr. Farrar will not object to my use of the word freehold. Milton himself uses it in the same way in his prose writings, viz., I too have my chapter and freehold of rejoicing. Mr. Whittier suggested to Dr. Farrarey will add to the interest which all Englishmen and Americans will feel in the beautiful Milton window. I think that if Milton had now been living, you are the poet whom he would have chosen to speak of him, as being the poet with whose whole tone
