Woos, as He states us — by His Son —
Verily, a Vicarious Courtship —
“Miles”, and “Priscilla”, were such an One —
But, lest the Soul — like fair “Priscilla”
Choose the Envoy — and spurn the Groom —
Vouches, with hyperbolic archness —
“Miles”, and “John Alden” were Synonyme —
“Hyperbolic archness”: “exaggerated cunning” (EDLex). Isn’t this how a compelling used-car salesman pitches an old car, “good as new”? Orwell smiles, wherever he is.
“Woos, as He states [tells] us — by His Son —”: Jesus tells Nicodemus, a local Jewish leader, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).
“[God] Vouches, with hyperbolic archness —”: “Vouch” means to swear something is true. God “vouches”, through his son, that “God” and “Jesus” are “Synonyme” (synonyms), two names for the same thing.
