He had a strong fatherly way of supervising the company and actors.

Milton can allow himself a literary indulgence in the rich sensuality of this passage because he has mastered the dread voice, he has mastered the fatherly sternness of Saint Peter.

他能够允许自己沉溺于这种丰富的感官享受中,因为他已经能够掌控了这种恐怖的声音，他能够处理圣彼得的父亲般的严厉。
