1 | The angel who had shown the way | ||||||
|
 |
|
|
 |
|
2 | to the sixth circling now was left behind, | ||||||
|
|
 |
|
 |
|
3 | having erased another swordstroke from my brow | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
4 | as he declared that those who long for righteousness | ||||||
|
|
 |
|
|
|
5 | are blessed, ending on sitiunt | ||||||
|
 |
 |
|
|
|
6 | without the other words he might have said. | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
7 | And now I could move on, lighter | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
8 | than at the other entrances, so that I followed | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
9 | the swifter spirits up with ease, | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
10 | when Virgil began: 'A love that is kindled by virtue | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
11 | has always ignited another, as long as its flame | ||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
12 | was shining where it could be seen. | ||||||
