“Of human form divine was he, The immortal youth of heaven who floated by, Even such as that divinest form shall be In those blest stages of our mortal race, When no infirmity, Low thought, nor base desire, nor wasting care Deface the semblance of our heavenly sire — The wings of eagle or of cherubim Had seemed unworthy him; Angelic power and dignity and grace Were in his glorious pennons; from the neck Down to the ankle reached their swelling web Richer than robes of Tyrian dye, that deck Imperial majesty:”
