Do you mean "bane" ?
In which case it may be construed as an alliterative oxymoron

Thanks Slaney thats looks right

Sorry Red Rose, I am puzzled. Does it matter in which of Milton's works this phrase comes from? Ulysses100 has given the answer (though admittedly you do need both blessed and bane for it to be an oxymoron, in this case an alliterative one).

sorry Catron to not be of much help with your question but all I have is what I wrote down as my original question.

Isn't the Milton quote "precious bane" anyway?
Still sounds as if it's meant to be an oxymoron.
