DESCRIPTION:Milton’s elegy for the Anglican clergyman\, Edward King\, wh
 o drowned off Anglesey in 1637 contains an attack on the established churc
 h voiced by St Peter.  In nineteen lines the Laudian establishment is cast
  as a threat to the Word of God. This movement closes with a mysterious co
 uplet widely acknowledged to be an impenetrable riddle. \n \n\n*But that t
 wo-handed engine at the door\,*   [130\n\n*Stands ready to smite once\, an
 d smite no more.* \n\n\nThis paper seeks to enrich readings of the couplet
  that identify Milton’s ‘engine’ with typical powers by presenting e
 vidence that suggests this dynamic image – literally and metaphorically 
 - bears the impression of the printing press\, and to tease out the implic
 ations of this signification.
