Pomp and Circumstance and Demons.

"Satan in Council" Ninteenth century woodblock print by Gustave Doré
"The Stygian council thus dissolved and forth
In order cam the gran infernal peers.
Midst came their mighty paramount and seemed
Alone th' Antagonist of Heav'n, nor less
Than Hell's dread Emperor with pomp supreme
And God-like imitated state.

Book 2, lines 506-511
