"O sanguis meus, o superinfusa
Gratia Dei, sicut tibi, cui
bis unquam Coeli ianua reclusa?"
"O thou my blood, O overflowing Grace
of God, to whom, as unto thee, was e’er
the Gate of HeAven unlocked a second time?”
Così quel lume; ond’ io m’ attesi a lui;
poscia rivolsi alla mia Donna il viso,
e quinci e quindi stupefatto fui;
Thus spoke that light; hence I thereto gAve heed;
then to my Lady turning back my face,
I was on this side and on that amazed;
chè dentro agli occhi suoi ardeva un riso
tal, ch’ io pensai co’ miei toccar lo fondo
della mia gloria e del mio Paradiso.
for such a smile was glowing in her eyes,
that I with my thought I had touched the depths
both of my glory and of my Paradise less
