How does john milton link the mirth of "l'allegro" with melancholy of "il pensoroso" in these two excerpts?
in notes, with many a winding bout
of linked sweetnes long drawn out,
with wanton heed, and giddy cunning,
the melting voice through mazes running;
untwisting all the chains that tie
the hidden soul of harmony.
(from "l'allegro")

to the full voic'd quire below,
in service high, and anthems cleer,
as may with sweetnes, through mine ear,
dissolve me into extasies,
and bring all heav'n before mine eyes.
and may at last my weary age
find out the peaceful hermitage,
(from "il penseroso")
