A couple of vocabulary notes:

my dictionary had vermiculated as "adorned with way or winding lines" and
this makes more sense to the context of the poem (line 51) where he is
describing the bark or a tree, I think.

You didn't address the word "preterist" from line 79.  It's not in my
dictionary, but on the web defined as " a theologian who believes that
the prophecies of the Apocalypse have already been fulfilled"
