Epic poem in blank verse by John Milton, originally published in 1667 in ten books (8,4)

I believe the answer is:

paradise lost

(Other definitions for paradise lost that I've seen before include "work from the 17th century" , "disaster on cosmic scale" , "long poem" , "Work by Milton" , "Poem by 1" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
