Moreso with 16th century English, such as Milton's, especially when you add
to the differences the convoluted syntax of the poetry.
I do not know if this is a can of worms; languages other than French and
English will want their due in this area too; but I think it is o.k. to have
more variants if it is appropriate, for me just so long as the subtags are
something easy to remember.
