     From that one which I noted of most beauty Beheld I issue forth a fire 

so happy That none it left there of a greater brightness�察�

     And around Beatrice three several times It whirled itself with so divine 

a song�察�My fantasy repeats it not to me�察�

     Therefore the pen skips�察�and I write it not�察�Since our imagination for 

such folds�察�Much more our speech�察�is of a tint too glaring。 

     ;O   holy  sister   mine�察  �who   us   implorest With   such   devotion�察  �by   thine 

ardent love Thou dost unbind me from that beautiful sphere� ─�

     Thereafter�察�having stopped�察�the blessed fire Unto my Lady did direct 

its breath�察�Which spake in fashion as I here have said。 

     And she�此 �O light eterne of the great man To whom our Lord delivered 

up the keys He carried down of this miraculous joy�察�

     This one examine on points light and grave�察�As good beseemeth thee�察�

about the Faith By means of which thou on the sea didst walk。 

     If he love well�察�and hope well�察�and believe�察�From thee 'tis hid not�察�for 

thou hast thy sight There where depicted everything is seen。 

     But since this kingdom has made citizens By means of the true Faith�察�

to glorify it 'Tis well he have the chance to speak thereof。; 

     As baccalaureate arms himself�察�and speaks not Until the master doth 

propose the question�察�To argue it�察�and not to terminate it�察�

     So did I arm myself with every reason�察�While she was speaking�察�that I 

might be ready For such a questioner and such profession。 

     ;Say�察   �thou   good    Christian�察   �manifest    thyself�察  �What     is  the  Faith�拭─�

Whereat   I   raised   my   brow   Unto   that   light   wherefrom   was   this   breathed 

forth。 

     Then turned I round to Beatrice�察�and she Prompt signals made to me 

that I should pour The water forth from my internal fountain。 

     ;May   grace�察  �that   suffers   me   to   make   confession�察─  �Began   I�察   �to   the 

great centurion�察�Cause my conceptions all to be explicit� ─�

     And I continued�此 �As the truthful pen�察�Father�察�of thy dear brother wrote 

of it�察�Who put with thee Rome into the good way�察�

     Faith is the substance of the things we hope for�察�And evidence of those 

that are not seen�察�And this appears to me its quiddity。; 

     Then heard I�此 �Very rightly thou perceivest�察�If well thou understandest 

why he placed it With substances and then with evidences。; 

     And   I   thereafterward�此   �The   things   profound�察  �That   here   vouchsafe   to 

me their apparition�察�Unto all eyes below are so concealed�察�

     That   they   exist   there   only   in   belief�察  �Upon   the   which   is   founded   the 

high hope�察�And hence it takes the nature of a substance。 

     And   it   behoveth   us   from   this   belief   To   reason   without   having   other 

sight�察�And hence it has the nature of evidence。; 

     Then heard   I�此   �If   whatever   is   acquired   Below   by  doctrine   were   thus 

understood�察�No sophist's subtlety would there find place。; 

     Thus was breathed forth from that enkindled love�察�Then added�此 �Very 

well has been gone over Already of this coin the alloy and weight�察�

     But tell me if thou hast it in thy purse�拭─�And I�此 �Yes�察�both so shining 

and so round That in its stamp there is no peradventure。; 

     Thereafter issued from the light profound That there resplendent was�此�

;This precious jewel�察�Upon the which is every virtue founded�察�

     Whence hadst thou it�拭─�And I�此 �The large outpouring Of Holy Spirit�察�

which has been diffused Upon the ancient parchments and the new�察�

     A   syllogism   is�察  �which    proved    it  to  me   With   such   acuteness�察   �that�察�

compared therewith�察�All demonstration seems to me obtuse。; 

     And then I heard�此 �The ancient and the new Postulates�察�that to thee are

so conclusive�察�Why dost thou take them for the word divine�拭─�

     And     I�此  �The   proofs�察  �which    show    the   truth  to  me�察  �Are   the   works 

subsequent�察�whereunto Nature Ne'er heated iron yet�察�nor anvil beat。; 

     'Twas   answered   me�此   �Say�察  �who   assureth   thee   That   those   works   ever 

were�拭�the thing itself That must be proved�察�nought else to thee affirms it。; 

     ;Were the world to Christianity converted�察─�I said�察 �withouten miracles�察�

this one Is such�察�the rest are not its hundredth part�察�

     Because   that   poor   and   fasting   thou   didst   enter   Into   the   field   to   sow 

there the good plant�察�Which was a vine and has become a thorn� ─�

     This    being   finished�察   �the  high�察  �holy   Court    Resounded      through     the 

spheres�察 �One God we praise� ─�In melody that there above is chanted。 

     And then that Baron�察�who from branch to branch�察�Examining�察�had thus 

conducted me�察�Till the extremest leaves we were approaching�察�

     Again   began�此   �The   Grace  that   dallying   Plays   with thine  intellect   thy 

mouth has opened�察�Up to this point�察�as it should opened be�察�

     So that I do approve what forth emerged�察�But now thou must express 

what thou believest�察�And whence to thy belief it was presented。; 

     ;O holy father�察�spirit who beholdest What thou believedst so that thou 

o'ercamest�察�Towards the sepulchre�察�more youthful feet�察─�

     Began I�察 �thou dost wish me in this place The form to manifest of my 

prompt belief�察�And likewise thou the cause thereof demandest。 

     And I respond�此�In one God I believe�察�Sole and eterne�察�who moveth all 

the heavens With love and with desire�察�himself unmoved�察�

     And of such faith not only have I proofs Physical and metaphysical�察�

but gives them Likewise the truth that from this place rains down 

     Through   Moses�察  �through   the   Prophets   and   the   Psalms�察  �Through   the 

Evangel�察�and through you�察�who wrote After the fiery Spirit sanctified you�察�

     In   Persons   three   eterne   believe�察  �and   these   One   essence   I   believe�察  �so 

one and trine They bear conjunction both with 'sunt' and 'est。' 

     With the profound condition and divine Which now I touch upon�察�doth 

stamp my mind Ofttimes the doctrine evangelical。 

     This   the   beginning   is�察  �this   is   the   spark   Which   afterwards   dilates   to 

vivid flame�察�And�察�like a star in heaven�察�is sparkling in me。;

       If   e'er   it   happen   that   the   Poem   Sacred�察  �To   which   both   heaven   and 

earth have set their hand�察�So that it many a year hath made me lean�察�

     O'ercome the cruelty that bars me out From the fair sheepfold�察�where a 

lamb I slumbered�察�An enemy to the wolves that war upon it�察�

     With other voice forthwith�察�with other fleece Poet will I return�察�and at 

my font Baptismal will I take the laurel crown�察�

     Because   into   the   Faith   that   maketh   known   All   souls   to   God   there 

entered I�察�and then Peter for her sake thus my brow encircled。 

     Thereafterward   towards   us   moved   a   light   Out   of   that   band   whence 

issued the first´fruits Which of his vicars Christ behind him left�察�

     And then my Lady�察�full of ecstasy�察�Said unto me�此 �Look�察�look� �behold 

the Baron For whom below Galicia is frequented。; 

     In the same way as�察�when a dove alights Near his companion�察�both of 

them pour forth�察�Circling about and murmuring�察�their affection�察�

     So one beheld I by the other grand Prince glorified to be with welcome 

greeted�察�Lauding the food that there above is eaten。 

     But   when   their   gratulations   were   complete�察  �Silently  'coram  me'   each 

one stood still�察�So incandescent it o'ercame my sight。 

     Smiling thereafterwards�察�said Beatrice�此 �Illustrious life�察�by whom the 

benefactions Of our Basilica have been described�察�

personify it As Jesus to the three gave greater clearness。;

from the mortal world Must needs be ripened in our radiance。; 

     This comfort came to me from the second fire�察�Wherefore mine eyes I 

lifted to the hills�察�Which bent them down before with too great weight。
