con la sua cima, sì che l'alto affetto 125 with their fiery tips, so that their deep affection
 
ch'elli avieno a Maria mi fu palese. 126 for Mary was made clear to me.
 
    Indi rimaser lì nel mio cospetto, 127 Then they remained there in my sight,
 
"Regina celi" cantando sì dolce, 128 singing Regina celi with such sweetness
 
che mai da me non si partì 'l diletto. 129 that my feeling of delight has never left me.
 
    Oh quanta è l'ubertà che si soffolce 130 Oh, how great is the abundance
 
in quelle arche ricchissime che fuoro 131 that is stored in granaries so rich above,
 
a seminar qua giù buone bobolce! 132 that down on earth were fields ripe for the sowing!
 
    Quivi si vive e gode del tesoro 133 There they live, rejoicing in the treasure
 
che s'acquistò piangendo ne lo essilio 134 they gained with tears of exile,
 
di Babillòn, ove si lasciò l'oro. 135 in Babylon, where they spurned the gold.
 
    Quivi trïunfa, sotto l'alto Filio 136 Beneath the exalted Son of God and Mary,
 
di Dio e di Maria, di sua vittoria, 137 up there he triumphs in his victory,
 
e con l'antico e col novo concilio, 138 with souls of the covenants old and new,
 
colui che tien le chiavi di tal gloria. 139 the one who holds the keys to such great glory.
