Reading edition
Todd's Milton, vol. iii. pp. 138, 139. Paradise Lost, book iv. l. 677.—Shakspeare, it may be remarked, occasionally alludes to the same species of spiritual hierarchy, and, in the very play we are engaged upon, Laertes says—
"A minist'ring angel shall my sister be, When thou liest howling."
Act v. sc. 1.
