Note When as that Angell to whom God assign’d, — AGINCOVRT.
Reading edition
Page 52, ll. 6, 7. “When as that Angell to whom God assign’d The guiding of the English.”—This fine passage may very probably have been in Dryden’s mind when he planned the machinery of his unwritten epic, and in Addison’s when he penned the famous simile of the Angel in his poem on Blenheim.
