Ab'diel
from
Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama
by Rev. E. Cobham Brewer
(1810–1897)
Ab'diel, the faithful seraph who withstood Satan when he urged those under him to revolt.
... the seraph Abdiel, faithful found;
Among the faithless faithful only he;
Among innumerable false, unmoved.
Unshaken, unseduced, unterrified,
His loyalty he kept, his love, his zeal.
Milton, Paradise Lost , v. 896, etc. (1665).
