vengeance Shall witness to the truth that doth dispense it。
Thou shalt abandon everything beloved Most tenderly�察 �and this the
arrow is Which first the bow of banishment shoots forth。
Thou shalt have proof how savoureth of salt The bread of others�察�and
how hard a road The going down and up another's stairs。
And that which most shall weigh upon thy shoulders Will be the bad
and foolish company With which into this valley thou shalt fall�察�
For all ingrate�察�all mad and impious Will they become against thee�察�but
soon after They�察�and not thou�察�shall have the forehead scarlet。
Of their bestiality their own proceedings Shall furnish proof�察�so 'twill
be well for thee A party to have made thee by thyself。
Thine earliest refuge and thine earliest inn Shall be the mighty
Lombard's courtesy�察�Who on the Ladder bears the holy bird�察�
Who such benign regard shall have for thee That 'twixt you twain�察�in
doing and in asking�察�That shall be first which is with others last。
With him shalt thou see one who at his birth Has by this star of
strength been so impressed�察�That notable shall his achievements be。
Not yet the people are aware of him Through his young age�察�since only
nine years yet Around about him have these wheels revolved。
But ere the Gascon cheat the noble Henry�察�Some sparkles of his virtue
shall appear In caring not for silver nor for toil。
So recognized shall his magnificence Become hereafter�察 �that his
enemies Will not have power to keep mute tongues about it。
On him rely�察 �and on his benefits�察 �By him shall many people be
transformed�察�Changing condition rich and mendicant�察�
And written in thy mind thou hence shalt bear Of him�察�but shalt not
say it;and things said he Incredible to those who shall be present。
Then added�此 �Son�察 �these are the commentaries On what was said to
thee�察�behold the snares That are concealed behind few revolutions�察�
Yet would I not thy neighbours thou shouldst envy�察 �Because thy life
into the future reaches Beyond the punishment of their perfidies。;

When by its silence showed that sainted soul That it had finished
putting in the woof Into that web which I had given it warped�察�
Began I�察�even as he who yearneth after�察�Being in doubt�察�some counsel
from a person Who seeth�察�and uprightly wills�察�and loves�此�
;Well see I�察�father mine�察�how spurreth on The time towards me such a
blow to deal me As heaviest is to him who most gives way。
Therefore with foresight it is well I arm me�察�That�察�if the dearest place
be taken from me�察�I may not lose the others by my songs。
Down through the world of infinite bitterness�察�And o'er the mountain�察�
from whose beauteous summit The eyes of my own Lady lifted me�察�
And afterward through heaven from light to light�察�I have learned that
which�察�if I tell again�察�Will be a savour of strong herbs to many。
And if I am a timid friend to truth�察�I fear lest I may lose my life with
those Who will hereafter call this time the olden。;
The light in which was smiling my own treasure Which there I had
discovered�察�flashed at first As in the sunshine doth a golden mirror�察�
Then made reply�此 �A conscience overcast Or with its own or with
another's shame�察�Will taste forsooth the tartness of thy word�察�
But ne'ertheless�察 �all falsehood laid aside�察 �Make manifest thy vision
utterly�察�And let them scratch wherever is the itch�察�
For if thine utterance shall offensive be At the first taste�察 �a vital
nutriment 'Twill leave thereafter�察�when it is digested。
This cry of thine shall do as doth the wind�察�Which smiteth most the
most exalted summits�察�And that is no slight argument of honour。
Therefore are shown to thee within these wheels�察�Upon the mount and
in the dolorous valley�察�Only the souls that unto fame are known�察�
Because the spirit of the hearer rests not�察�Nor doth confirm its faith by
an example Which has the root of it unknown and hidden�察�
Or other reason that is not apparent。;

Paradiso�此�Canto XVIII
Now was alone rejoicing in its word That soul beatified�察�and I was
tasting My own�察�the bitter tempering with the sweet�察�
And the Lady who to God was leading me Said�此 �Change thy thought�察�
consider that I am Near unto Him who every wrong disburdens。;
Unto the loving accents of my comfort I turned me round�察 �and then
what love I saw Within those holy eyes I here relinquish�察�
Not only that my language I distrust�察�But that my mind cannot return
so far Above itself�察�unless another guide it。
Thus much upon that point can I repeat�察�That�察�her again beholding�察�my
affection From every other longing was released。
While the eternal pleasure�察 �which direct Rayed upon Beatrice�察 �from
her fair face Contented me with its reflected aspect�察�
Conquering me with the radiance of a smile�察 �She said to me�察 �Turn
thee about and listen�察�Not in mine eyes alone is Paradise。;
Even as sometimes here do we behold The affection in the look�察�if it
be such That all the soul is wrapt away by it�察�
So�察 �by the flaming of the effulgence holy To which I turned�察 �I
recognized therein The wish of speaking to me somewhat farther。
And it began�此 �In this fifth resting´place Upon the tree that liveth by its
summit�察�And aye bears fruit�察�and never loses leaf�察�
Are blessed spirits that below�察�ere yet They came to Heaven�察�were of
such great renown That every Muse therewith would affluent be。
Therefore look thou upon the cross's horns�察 �He whom I now shall
name will there enact What doth within a cloud its own swift fire。;
I saw athwart the Cross a splendour drawn By naming Joshua�察。�even as
he did it�撮� Nor noted I the word before the deed�察�
And at the name of the great Maccabee I saw another move itself
revolving�察�And gladness was the whip unto that top。
Likewise for Charlemagne and for Orlando�察�Two of them my regard
attentive followed As followeth the eye its falcon flying。
William thereafterward�察 �and Renouard�察 �And the Duke Godfrey�察 �did
attract my sight Along upon that Cross�察�and Robert Guiscard。

Then�察 �moved and mingled with the other lights�察 �The soul that had
addressed me showed how great An artist 'twas among the heavenly
singers。
To my right side I turned myself around�察 �My duty to behold in
Beatrice Either by words or gesture signified�察�
And so translucent I beheld her eyes�察 �So full of pleasure�察 �that her
countenance Surpassed its other and its latest wont。
And as�察�by feeling greater delectation�察�A man in doing good from day
to day Becomes aware his virtue is increasing�察�
So I became aware that my gyration With heaven together had
increased its arc�察�That miracle beholding more adorned。
And such as is the change�察�in little lapse Of time�察 �in a pale woman�察�
when her face Is from the load of bashfulness unladen�察�
Such was it in mine eyes�察�when I had turned�察�Caused by the whiteness
of the temperate star�察�The sixth�察�which to itself had gathered me。
Within that Jovial torch did I behold The sparkling of the love which
was therein Delineate our language to mine eyes。
And even as birds uprisen from the shore�察�As in congratulation o'er
their food�察�Make squadrons of themselves�察�now round�察�now long�察�
So from within those lights the holy creatures Sang flying to and fro�察�
and in their figures Made of themselves now D�察�now I�察�now L。
First singing they to their own music moved�察�Then one becoming of
these characters�察�A little while they rested and were silent。
O divine Pegasea�察�thou who genius Dost glorious make�察�and render it
long´lived�察�And this through thee the cities and the kingdoms�察�
Illume me with thyself�察 �that I may bring Their figures out as I have
them conceived� �Apparent be thy power in these brief verses� �
Themselves then they displayed in five times seven Vowels and
consonants�察�and I observed The parts as they seemed spoken unto me。
'Diligite justitiam��' these were First verb and noun of all that was
depicted�察�'Qui judicatis terram' were the last。
Thereafter in the M of the fifth word Remained they so arranged�察�that
Jupiter Seemed to be silver there with gold inlaid。
And other lights I saw descend where was The summit of the M�察�and

pause there singing The good�察�I think�察�that draws them to itself。
Then�察�as in striking upon burning logs Upward there fly innumerable
sparks�察�Whence fools are wont to look for auguries�察�
More than a thousand lights seemed thence to rise�察 �And to ascend�察�
some more�察�and others less�察�Even as the Sun that lights them had allotted�察�
And�察�each one being quiet in its place��
