    e l'un ne l'altro aver li raggi suoi, 16 the rays of one reflected in the other,
 
e amendue girarsi per maniera 17 with both revolving in such manner
 
che l'uno andasse al primo e l'altro al poi; 18 that one went first and then the other followed.
 
    e avrà quasi l'ombra de la vera 19 Then he will have, as it were, the shadow
 
costellazione e de la doppia danza 20 of the true constellation and the double dance
 
che circulava il punto dov' io era: 21 that wheeled around the point where I now was,
 
    poi ch'è tanto di là da nostra usanza, 22 for it is as far beyond our understanding
 
quanto di là dal mover de la Chiana 23 as the speed of the heaven that exceeds all others
 
si move il ciel che tutti li altri avanza. 24 outstrips the muddy stirrings of the Chiana.
 
    Lì si cantò non Bacco, non Peana, 25 There they sang the praises not of Bacchus nor of Paean
 
ma tre persone in divina natura, 26 but praised the divine nature in three Persons,
 
e in una persona essa e l'umana. 27 and in one Person sang that nature joined with man.
 
    Compié 'l cantare e 'l volger sua misura; 28 Having done the measure of their song and circling dance,
 
e attesersi a noi quei santi lumi, 29 these holy lights turned toward us,
 
felicitando sé di cura in cura. 30 rejoicing as they passed from task to task.
