in Easter Wings, Right at the word child? What is the poet's meek answer in the last line? ( MEG 101 ) ( GEORGE HERBERT )

In the poem "Easter Wings," the line that begins with "Right at the word child" is:


"And winged it for a seraphim."


The meek answer in the last line of the poem is:


"Yet if His Majesty, / Our sovereign lord, should of his own accord / Friendly himself invite, / And say 'I'll be your guest to-morrow night,' / How should we stir ourselves, call and command / All hands to work! 'Let no man idle stand. / Set me fine Spanish tables in the hall, / See they be fitted all; / Let there be room to eat / And order taken that there want no meat. / See every sconce and candlestick made bright, / That without tapers they may give a light. / Look to the presence: are the carpets spread, / The dazie o'er the head, / The cushions in the chairs, / And all the candles lighted on the stairs?'"


Here, the speaker acknowledges the greatness of God and expresses humility in the face of God's sovereignty. He concludes with a hypothetical scenario in which God invites Himself as a guest and the speaker's response is to prepare everything perfectly, showing his devotion and commitment to God.
