by Unknown

With solemn adoration down they cast

Their crowns inwove with amarant and gold.

Milton.

Angels are men of a superior kind;

Angels are men in lighter habit clad,

High o’er celestial mountains winged in flight;

And men are angels loaded for an hour,

Who wade the miry vale, and climb with pain,

And slippery step, the bottom of the steep.
