It means chaos, or disorder today. Originally from these stanzas, full of clues.
A solemn council forthwith to be held
At ______________ , the high capital
Of Satan and his peers; their summons called
From every band and squared regiment
By place or choice the worthiest; they anon
With hundreds and with thousands trooping came
Attended; all access was thonged, the gates
And porches wide, but chief the spacious hall
A solemn council forthwith to be held
At ______________ , the high capital
Of Satan and his peers; their summons called
From every band and squared regiment
By place or choice the worthiest; they anon
With hundreds and with thousands trooping came
Attended; all access was thonged, the gates
And porches wide, but chief the spacious hall
