THE DIVINE COMEDY
Thus constellated in the depths of Mars�察 �Those rays described the
venerable sign That quadrants joining in a circle make。
Here doth my memory overcome my genius�察�For on that cross as levin
gleamed forth Christ�察�So that I cannot find ensample worthy�察�
But he who takes his cross and follows Christ Again will pardon me
what I omit�察�Seeing in that aurora lighten Christ。
From horn to horn�察�and 'twixt the top and base�察�Lights were in motion�察�
brightly scintillating As they together met and passed each other�察�
Thus level and aslant and swift and slow We here behold�察 �renewing
still the sight�察�The particles of bodies long and short�察�
Across the sunbeam move�察�wherewith is listed Sometimes the shade�察�
which for their own defence People with cunning and with art contrive。
And as a lute and harp�察�accordant strung With many strings�察�a dulcet
tinkling make To him by whom the notes are not distinguished�察�
So from the lights that there to me appeared Upgathered through the
cross a melody�察�Which rapt me�察�not distinguishing the hymn。
Well was I ware it was of lofty laud�察�Because there came to me�察 �Arise
and conquer� ─�As unto him who hears and comprehends not。
So much enamoured I became therewith�察�That until then there was not
anything That e'er had fettered me with such sweet bonds。
Perhaps my word appears somewhat too bold�察�Postponing the delight
of those fair eyes�察�Into which gazing my desire has rest�察�
But who bethinks him that the living seals Of every beauty grow in
power ascending�察�And that I there had not turned round to those�察�
Can me excuse�察 �if I myself accuse To excuse myself�察 �and see that I
speak truly�此�For here the holy joy is not disclosed�察�
Because ascending it becomes more pure。

Paradiso�此�Canto XV
A will benign�察�in which reveals itself Ever the love that righteously
inspires�察�As in the iniquitous�察�cupidity�察�
Silence imposed upon that dulcet lyre�察 �And quieted the consecrated
chords�察�That Heaven's right hand doth tighten and relax。
How unto just entreaties shall be deaf Those substances�察�which�察�to give
me desire Of praying them�察�with one accord grew silent�拭�
'Tis well that without end he should lament�察�Who for the love of thing
that doth not last Eternally despoils him of that love� �
As through the pure and tranquil evening air There shoots from time to
time a sudden fire�察�Moving the eyes that steadfast were before�察�
And seems to be a star that changeth place�察 �Except that in the part
where it is kindled Nothing is missed�察�and this endureth little�察�So from the
horn that to the right extends Unto that cross's foot there ran a star Out of
the constellation shining there�察�
Nor was the gem dissevered from its ribbon�察 �But down the radiant
fillet ran along�察�So that fire seemed it behind alabaster。
Thus piteous did Anchises' shade reach forward�察 �If any faith our
greatest Muse deserve�察�When in Elysium he his son perceived。
;O sanguis meus�察�O superinfusa Gratia Dei�察�sicut tibi�察�cui Bis unquam
Coeli janua reclusa�拭─�
Thus that effulgence�察�whence I gave it heed�察�Then round unto my Lady
turned my sight�察�And on this side and that was stupefied�察�
For in her eyes was burning such a smile That with mine own
methought I touched the bottom Both of my grace and of my Paradise� �
Then�察 �pleasant to the hearing and the sight�察 �The spirit joined to its
beginning things I understood not�察�so profound it spake�察�
Nor did it hide itself from me by choice�察 �But by necessity�察 �for its
conception Above the mark of mortals set itself。
And when the bow of burning sympathy Was so far slackened�察�that its
speech descended Towards the mark of our intelligence�察�
The first thing that was understood by me Was ;Benedight be Thou�察�O
Trine and One�察�Who hast unto my seed so courteous been� ─�

And it continued�此 �Hunger long and grateful�察�Drawn from the reading
of the mighty volume Wherein is never changed the white nor dark�察�
Thou hast appeased�察�my son�察�within this light In which I speak to thee�察�
by grace of her Who to this lofty flight with plumage clothed thee。
Thou thinkest that to me thy thought doth pass From Him who is the
first�察�as from the unit�察�If that be known�察�ray out the five and six�察�
And therefore who I am thou askest not�察�And why I seem more joyous
unto thee Than any other of this gladsome crowd。
Thou think'st the truth�察�because the small and great Of this existence
look into the mirror Wherein�察 �before thou think'st�察 �thy thought thou
showest。
But that the sacred love�察 �in which I watch With sight perpetual�察 �and
which makes me thirst With sweet desire�察�may better be fulfilled�察�
Now let thy voice secure and frank and glad Proclaim the wishes�察�the
desire proclaim�察�To which my answer is decreed already。;
To Beatrice I turned me�察�and she heard Before I spake�察�and smiled to
me a sign�察�That made the wings of my desire increase�察�
Then in this wise began I�此 �Love and knowledge�察 �When on you
dawned the first Equality�察�Of the same weight for each of you became�察�
For in the Sun�察�which lighted you and burned With heat and radiance�察�
they so equal are�察�That all similitudes are insufficient。
But among mortals will and argument�察 �For reason that to you is
manifest�察�Diversely feathered in their pinions are。
Whence I�察�who mortal am�察�feel in myself This inequality�察�so give not
thanks�察�Save in my heart�察�for this paternal welcome。
Truly do I entreat thee�察 �living topaz� �Set in this precious jewel as a
gem�察�That thou wilt satisfy me with thy name。;
;O leaf of mine�察�in whom I pleasure took E'en while awaiting�察�I was
thine own root� ─�Such a beginning he in answer made me。
Then said to me�此 �That one from whom is named Thy race�察�and who a
hundred years and more Has circled round the mount on the first cornice�察�
A son of mine and thy great´grandsire was�察�Well it behoves thee that
the long fatigue Thou shouldst for him make shorter with thy works。
Florence�察�within the ancient boundary From which she taketh still her

tierce and nones�察�Abode in quiet�察�temperate and chaste。
No golden chain she had�察 �nor coronal�察 �Nor ladies shod with sandal
shoon�察�nor girdle That caught the eye more than the person did。
Not yet the daughter at her birth struck fear Into the father�察�for the time
and dower Did not o'errun this side or that the measure。
No houses had she void of families�察 �Not yet had thither come
Sardanapalus To show what in a chamber can be done�察�
Not yet surpassed had Montemalo been By your Uccellatojo�察 �which
surpassed Shall in its downfall be as in its rise。
Bellincion Berti saw I go begirt With leather and with bone�察�and from
the mirror His dame depart without a painted face�察�
And him of Nerli saw�察 �and him of Vecchio�察 �Contented with their
simple suits of buff And with the spindle and the flax their dames。
O fortunate women� �and each one was certain Of her own burial´place�察�
and none as yet For sake of France was in her bed deserted。
One o'er the cradle kept her studious watch�察�And in her lullaby the
language used That first delights the fathers and the mothers�察�
Another�察�drawing tresses from her distaff�察�Told o'er among her family
the tales Of Trojans and of Fesole and Rome。
As great a marvel then would have been held A Lapo Salterello�察 �a
Cianghella�察�As Cincinnatus or Cornelia now。
To such a quiet�察 �such a beautiful Life of the citizen�察 �to such a safe
Community�察�and to so sweet an inn�察�
Did Mary give me�察 �with loud cries invoked�察 �And in your ancient
Baptistery at once Christian and Cacciaguida I became。
Moronto was my brother�察 �and Eliseo�察�From Val di Pado came to me
my wife�察�And from that place thy surname was derived。
I followed afterward the Emperor Conrad�察 �And he begirt me of his
chivalry�察�So much I pleased him with my noble deeds。
I followed in his train against that law's Iniquity�察 �whose people doth
usurp Your just possession�察�through your Pastor's fault。
There by that execrable race was I Released from bonds of the
fallacious world�察�The love of which defileth many souls�察�
And came from martyrdom unto this peace。;

Paradiso�此�Canto XVI
O thou our poor nobility of blood�察�If thou dost make the people glory
in thee Down here where our affection languishes�察�
A marvellous thing it ne'er will be to me�察�For there where appetite is
not perverted�察�I say in Heaven�察�of thee I made a boast� �
Truly thou art a cloa
