XXXVI.

The Archangel bowed, not like a modern beau,

But with a graceful oriental bend,

Pressing one radiant arm just where below[gr]

The heart in good men is supposed to tend;

He turned as to an equal, not too low,

But kindly; Satan met his ancient friend[gs]

With more hauteur, as might an old Castilian

Poor Noble meet a mushroom rich civilian.
