[00:36.872]	Gabriel:
[00:36.872]	This Goodness, in the image of Himself,
[00:39.638]	Formed man, also the Angels
[00:43.134]	that they might together here with Him
[00:45.884]	securely hold the Realm eterne
[00:50.133]	the good ne'er-comprehended.
[00:51.388]	Having the while with faithfulness maintained
[00:55.139]	His firm prescribed law.
[00:57.879]	He also built this wondrous universe,
[01:01.379]	the world below made manifest,
[01:04.137]	and meet for God and man,
[01:06.385]	That in this garden man might rule
[01:09.626]	and there might multiply;
[01:11.873]	acknowledge God with all his seed;
[01:15.629]	Him ever serve and e'er revere,
[01:20.635]	And thus mount up, by the stairway of the world,
[01:24.391]	The firmament of beatific light within,
[01:28.379]	into the ne'er-created glow.
[02:11.961]	Though Spirits may seem pre-eminent,
[02:14.467]	Above all other beings,
[02:16.464]	yet God hath decreed, even from eternity,
[02:20.471]	that man shall high exalted be,
[02:23.724]	even o'er the Angel world;
[02:25.975]	Him destined for a glory and a crown
[02:30.468]	Of splendor not inferior to His own.
[02:33.969]	Ye shall behold the eternal Word above,
[02:37.466]	When clad in flesh and bone,
[02:42.224]	anointed Lord And Chief and Judge,
[02:45.724]	mete justice to the hosts of Spirits,
[02:48.720]	to Angels and to men alike,
[02:52.979]	From His high seat, in His unshadowed Realm.
[02:57.219]	There in the centre stands the holy Throne already consecrate.
[03:03.469]	Let all the hosts Angelic then have care to worship Him,
[03:08.225]	When He shall ride in triumph in,
[03:12.717]	who hath the human form exalted o'er our own.
[03:19.471]	Then dimly shines the bright translucent flame of Seraphim,
[03:23.966]	beside this light of man,
[03:28.217]	This glow and radiance divine.
[03:31.464]	The rays of Mercy shall all Nature's splendors drown.
[03:35.971]	'Tis fated thus—and stands irrevocable.
