Having taught poetry to a group of English undergraduates at DMU, I
can say with some conviction that this is *far* from likely.

I've read both Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained. At least, I think
I have. As Levin points out, even those who *think* they've read it
can only *remember* the opening and a few good quotes from the first
300 lines.
