Cf. the Scotch use of the same word, and see Skeat. 32. Has. Milton does not use this form often. See note to 1. 421. Tempered awe, i.e., the fear ins...pired by the Lord President is tempered with justice and mercy. The next line is a magnificent tribute to the subjects of the Earl, viz., the Welsh. Milton's interest in the early Britons and their descendants was shown in many ways, cliiefly in his proposed Arthurian epic (see Ejnt. Dam.. 1. 1G2 seq.) and in his lILstoi-y of Britain. It may be noted that Miltou contrives to compliment all the persons of importance present at the performance. His compliments, by the way, are in far better taste than those Tasso introduced into the Aminta.
