"I charge thee, fling away ambition
By that sin fell the angels."
The Angels he refers to are the Biblical "Fallen Angels". Lucifer's (satan) ambition was to become god over God (The Father) and he was exiled, cast down, to the Earth
Isaiah 14:12-14 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
