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
80
´ Page 81´
THE DIVINE COMEDY
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。;
Even as a lord who hears what pleaseth him His servant straight

embraces�察�gratulating For the good news as soon as he is silent�察�
So�察�giving me its benediction�察�singing�察�Three times encircled me�察�when
I was silent�察�The apostolic light�察�at whose command
I spoken had�察�in speaking I so pleased him。

Paradiso�此�Canto XXV
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�
Make Hope resound within this altitude�察�Thou knowest as oft thou dost
personify it As Jesus to the three gave greater clearness。;
;Lift up thy head�察 �and make thyself assured�察 �For what comes hither
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。
;Since�察�through his grace�察�our Emperor wills that thou Shouldst find
thee face to face�察�before thy death�察�In the most secret chamber�察�with his
Counts�察�
So that�察 �the truth beholden of this court�察 �Hope�察 �which below there
rightfully enamours�察�Thereby thou strengthen in thyself and others�察�
Say what it is�察�and how is flowering with it Thy mind�察�and say from

whence it came to thee。; Thus did the second light again continue。
And the Compassionate�察 �who piloted The plumage of my wings in
such high flight�察�Did in reply anticipate me thus�此�
;No child whatever the Church Militant Of greater hope possesses�察�as
is written In that Sun which irradiates all our band�察�
Therefore it is conceded him from Egypt To come into Jerusalem to
see�察�Or ever yet his warf
