{{merge with|Jerusalem (hymn)}}
'''"And did those feet in ancient time"''' is the verse part of the prose/verse preface of the poem ''Milton'', written and printed by the English poet [[William Blake]] in the first decade of the 19th Century. It recalls the legend that the Lord Jesus travelled to [[England]]. Jerusalem is used as a metaphor for the kingdom of heaven, and the poem exhorts the audience to fight for a reassertion of God's rule on earth. It is a veiled protest against the conditions spreading throughout this "green and pleasant land" with the growing effects of the [[Industrial Revolution]].
