Considering Milton, I was only familiar with Paradise Lost and heard about "Lycidas" and "L'Allegro." Reading this book made me realize that there is so much to explore regarding Milton. I especially liked the early works of Milton which carried lots of inspirations from the Renaissance.
I highly suggest you to read "Il Penseroso" first and then move on to "L'Allegro" as they complete each other in a sense. Both of them are beautiful poems but quite difficult to read. This is actually the case for all of his poems considering the time period in which it was written. Yet, these two are quite long poems more like a Homeric epic. The shorter poems are easier to understand and enjoyable.
"On Shakespeare" and "Song on May Morning were his earlier works and I also liked “On His Blindness” which was written later in his career. Great compilation of poems overall.
