    La gloria di colui che tutto move 1 The glory of Him who moves all things
 
per l'universo penetra, e risplende 2 pervades the universe and shines
 
in una parte più e meno altrove. 3 in one part more and in another less.
 
    Nel ciel che più de la sua luce prende 4 I was in that heaven which receives
 
fu' io, e vidi cose che ridire 5 more of His light. He who comes down from there
 
né sa né può chi di là sù discende; 6 can neither know nor tell what he has seen,
 
    perché appressando sé al suo disire, 7 for, drawing near to its desire,
 
nostro intelletto si profonda tanto, 8 so deeply is our intellect immersed
 
che dietro la memoria non può ire. 9 that memory cannot follow after it.
 
    Veramente quant' io del regno santo 10 Nevertheless, as much of the holy kingdom
 
ne la mia mente potei far tesoro, 11 as I could store as treasure in my mind
 
sarà ora materia del mio canto. 12 shall now become the subject of my song.
 
    O buono Appollo, a l'ultimo lavoro 13 O good Apollo, for this last labor
 
fammi del tuo valor sì fatto vaso, 14 make me a vessel worthy
 
come dimandi a dar l'amato alloro. 15 of the gift of your belovèd laurel.
