700But he the sev’nth from thee, whom thou beheld’st, The only righteous in a world perverse And therefore hated, therefore so beset With foes for daring single to be just And utter odious truth that God would come 705To judge them with his saints, him the Most High, Rapt in a balmy cloud with wingèd steeds, Did, as thou saw’st, receive to walk with God High in salvation and the climes of bliss Exempt from death, to show thee what reward 710Awaits the good, the rest what punishment,◦ Which now direct thine eyes and soon behold.
