intelligence Both all and only were and are endowed。 

    Now wilt thou see�察�if thence thou reasonest�察�The high worth of a vow�察�

if it he made So that when thou consentest God consents�此�

    For�察�closing between God and man the compact�察�A sacrifice is of this 

treasure made�察�Such as I say�察�and made by its own act。 

    What   can   be   rendered   then   as   compensation�拭�Think'st   thou   to   make 

good   use   of   what   thou'st   offered�察  �With   gains   ill   gotten   thou   wouldst   do 

good deed。 

    Now art thou certain of the greater point�察�But because Holy Church in 

this dispenses�察�Which seems against the truth which I have shown thee�察�

    Behoves thee still to sit awhile at table�察�Because the solid food which 

thou hast taken Requireth further aid for thy digestion。 

     Open thy mind to that which I reveal�察�And fix it there within�察�for 'tis 

not knowledge�察�The having heard without retaining it。 

    In the essence of this sacrifice two things Convene together�察�and the 

one is that Of which 'tis made�察�the other is the agreement。 

     This   last   for   evermore   is   cancelled   not   Unless   complied   with�察  �and

concerning this With such precision has above been spoken。 

     Therefore   it   was   enjoined   upon   the   Hebrews   To   offer   still�察  �though 

sometimes   what   was   offered   Might   be   commuted�察  �as   thou          ought'st   to 

know。 

     The other�察�which is known to thee as matter�察�May well indeed be such 

that one errs not If it for other matter be exchanged。 

     But    let  none   shift  the  burden    on  his   shoulder   At   his  arbitrament�察�

without the turning Both of the white and of the yellow key�察�

     And every permutation deem as foolish�察�If in the substitute the thing 

relinquished�察�As the four is in six�察�be not contained。 

     Therefore   whatever   thing   has   so   great   weight   In   value   that   it   drags 

down every balance�察�Cannot be satisfied with other spending。 

     Let mortals never take a vow in jest�察�Be faithful and not blind in doing 

that�察�As Jephthah was in his first offering�察�

     Whom more beseemed to say�察�'I have done wrong�察�Than to do worse 

by keeping�察�and as foolish Thou the great leader of the Greeks wilt find�察�

     Whence wept Iphigenia her fair face�察�And made for her both wise and 

simple weep�察�Who heard such kind of worship spoken of。' 

     Christians�察 �be   ye   more   serious   in   your   movements�察  �Be   ye   not   like   a 

feather at each wind�察�And think not every water washes you。 

     Ye have the Old and the New Testament�察�And the Pastor of the Church 

who guideth you Let this suffice you unto your salvation。 

     If evil appetite cry aught else to you�察�Be ye as men�察�and not as silly 

sheep�察�So that the Jew among you may not mock you。 

     Be    ye  not   as  the  lamb    that  doth   abandon     Its  mother's    milk�察  �and 

frolicsome and simple Combats at its own pleasure with itself。; 

     Thus Beatrice to me even as I write it�察�Then all desireful turned herself 

again To that part where the world is most alive。 

     Her silence and her change of countenance Silence imposed upon my 

eager mind�察�That had already in advance new questions�察�

     And   as   an   arrow  that   upon   the   mark   Strikes   ere   the   bowstring   quiet 

hath become�察�So did we speed into the second realm。 

     My Lady there so joyful I beheld�察�As into the brightness of that heaven 

she entered�察�More luminous thereat the planet grew�察�

     And if the star itself was changed and smiled�察�What became I�察�who by 

my nature am Exceeding mutable in every guise� �

     As�察�in a fish´pond which is pure and tranquil�察�The fishes draw to that 

which from without Comes in such fashion that their food they deem it�察�

     So I beheld more than a thousand splendours Drawing towards us�察�and 

in each was heard�此 �Lo�察�this is she who shall increase our love。; 

     And as each one was coming unto us�察�Full of beatitude the shade was 

seen�察�By the effulgence clear that issued from it。 

     Think�察   �Reader�察   �if  what    here   is  just  beginning    No    farther   should 

proceed�察�how thou wouldst have An agonizing need of knowing more�察�

     And of thyself thou'lt see how I from these Was in desire of hearing 

their conditions�察�As they unto mine eyes were manifest。 

     ;O thou well´born�察�unto whom Grace concedes To see the thrones of 

the eternal triumph�察�Or ever yet the warfare be abandoned 

     With light that through the whole of heaven is spread Kindled are we�察�

and hence if thou desirest To know of us�察�at thine own pleasure sate thee。; 

     Thus    by   some    one   among    those   holy   spirits  Was    spoken�察   �and   by 

Beatrice�此 �Speak�察�speak Securely�察�and believe them even as Gods。; 

     ;Well   I   perceive   how   thou   dost   nest   thyself   In   thine   own   light�察  �and 

drawest it from thine eyes�察�Because they coruscate when thou dost smile�察�

     But   know   not   who   thou   art�察  �nor   why   thou   hast�察  �Spirit   august�察  �thy 

station in the sphere That veils itself to men in alien rays。; 

     This   said   I   in   direction   of   the   light   Which   first   had   spoken   to   me�察�

whence it became By far more lucent than it was before。 

     Even as the sun�察�that doth   conceal himself By  too much light�察  �when 

heat has worn away The tempering influence of the vapours dense�察�

     By greater rapture thus concealed itself In its own radiance the figure 

saintly�察�And thus close�察�close enfolded answered me 

     In fashion as the following Canto sings。

       ;After that Constantine the eagle turned Against the course of heaven�察�

which it had followed Behind the ancient who Lavinia took�察�

     Two hundred years and more the bird of God In the extreme of Europe 

held itself�察�Near to the mountains whence it issued first�察�

    And under shadow of the sacred plumes It governed there the world 

from hand to hand�察�And�察�changing thus�察�upon mine own alighted。 

     Caesar I was�察�and am Justinian�察�Who�察�by the will of primal Love I feel�察�

Took from the laws the useless and redundant�察�

    And ere unto the work I was attent�察�One nature to exist in Christ�察�not 

more�察�Believed�察�and with such faith was I contented。 

    But   blessed Agapetus�察  �he   who   was   The   supreme   pastor�察  �to   the   faith 

sincere Pointed me out the way by words of his。 

    Him I believed�察�and what was his assertion I now see clearly�察�even as 

thou seest Each contradiction to be false and true。 

    As   soon   as   with   the   Church   I   moved   my   feet�察  �God   in   his   grace   it 

pleased with this high task To inspire me�察�and I gave me wholly to it�察�

    And to my Belisarius I commended The arms�察�to which was heaven's 

right hand so joined It was a signal that I should repose。 

    Now here to the first question terminates My answer�察�but the character 

thereof Constrains me to continue with a sequel�察�

     In   order   that   thou   see   with   how   great   reason   Men   move   against   the 

standard sacrosanct�察�Both who appropriate and who oppose it。 

    Behold how great a power has made it worthy Of reverence�察�beginning 

from the hour When Pallas died to give it sovereignty。 

     Thou   knowest   it   made   in   Alba   its   abode   Three   hundred   years   and 

upward�察�till at last The three to three fought for it yet again。 

     Thou knowest what it achieved from Sabine wrong Down to Lucretia's 

sorrow�察�in seven kings O'ercoming round about the neighboring nations�察�

     Thou    knowest     what   it  achieved�察  �borne   by   the  Romans     Illustrious 

against     Brennus�察    �against    Pyrrhus�察   �Against    the   other    princes    and 

confederates。 

     Torquatus thence and Quinctius�察�who from locks Unkempt was named�察�

Decii and Fabii�察�Received the fame I willingly embalm�察�

     It struck to earth the pride of the Arabians�察�Who�察�following Hannibal�察�

had passed across The Alpine ridges�察�Po�察�from which thou glidest�察�

     Beneath it triumphed while they yet were young Pompey and Scipio�察�

and to the hill Beneath which thou wast born it bitter seemed�察�

     Then�察�near unto the time when heaven had willed To bring the whole 

world to its mood serene�察�Did Caesar by the will of Rome assume it。 

     What   it   achieved   from   Var   unto   the   Rhine�察  �Isere   beheld   and   Saone�察�

beheld the Seine�察�And every valley whence the Rhone is filled�察�

     What it achieved when it had left Ravenna�察�And leaped the Rubicon�察�

was such a flight That neither tongue nor pen could follow it。 

     Round   towards   Spain   it   wheeled   its   legions�察  �then   Towards   Durazzo�察�

and Pharsalia smote That to the calid Nile was felt the pain。 

     Antandros and the Simois�察�whence it started�察�It saw again�察�and there 

where Hector lies�察�And ill for Ptolemy then roused itself。 

     From   thence   it   came   like   lightning   upon   Juba�察  �Then   wheeled   itself 

again into your West�察�Where the Pompeian clarion it heard。 

     From     what   it  wrought     with   the  next   standard´bearer      Brutus    and 

Cassius howl in Hell together�察�And Modena and Perugia dolent were�察�
