The passage makes an allusion to "Seraphim," which refers to a kind of angel in the Bible.

Explanation

The term "Seraphim" is derived from the Hebrew word "seraph," meaning "to burn." In the Bible, Seraphim are described as celestial beings with six wings who stand in the presence of God, often associated with purity and divine fire. This allusion evokes a sense of the divine and the holy, suggesting a connection to religious or spiritual themes.

The other terms, "wretch" and "perfumed," are more straightforward in their meanings and do not carry the same depth of allusion as "Seraphim." "Wretch" simply refers to someone who is miserable, and "perfumed" refers to something that has a sweet smell, typically from a spray or oil. These terms do not have the same rich, symbolic background as "Seraphim."
