Which of these four excerpts from John Milton's poetry is in blank verse?

Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,

Sing Heav'nly Muse, that on the secret top

Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire

That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,

In the Beginning how the Heav'ns and Earth

(from Paradise Lost)

. . .

B) In Heav'n yclept Euphrosyne,

And by men, heart-easing Mirth,

Whom lovely Venus at a birth

With two sister Graces more

To ivy-crowned Bacchus bore

(from "L'Allegro")

. . .

C) Dissolve me into extasies,

And bring all Heav'n before mine eyes.

And may at last my weary age

Find out the peaceful hermitage,

The Hairy Gown and Mossy Cell,

(from "Il Penseroso")

. . .

D) Where I may sit and rightly spell

Of every Star that Heav'n doth shew,

And every Herb that sips the dew;

Till old experience do attain

To somthing like Prophetic strain.

(from "Il Penseroso")
