non è se non splendor di quella idea 53 are nothing but a bright reflection of that Idea
 
che partorisce, amando, il nostro Sire; 54 which our Lord, in loving, brings to birth.
 
    ché quella viva luce che sì mea 55 'For that living Light, which so streams forth
 
dal suo lucente, che non si disuna 56 from its shining Source that it neither parts from it
 
da lui né da l'amor ch'a lor s'intrea, 57 nor from the Love that is intrined with them,
 
    per sua bontate il suo raggiare aduna, 58 'of its own goodness gathers its own shining,
 
quasi specchiato, in nove sussistenze, 59 as though it were a mirror, in nine subsistences,
 
etternalmente rimanendosi una. 60 and yet eternally endures as one.
 
    Quindi discende a l'ultime potenze 61 'From that height light descends to the lowest elements,
 
giù d'atto in atto, tanto divenendo, 62 passing down from act to act, becoming such
 
che più non fa che brevi contingenze; 63 that it produces nothing more than brief contingencies.
 
    e queste contingenze essere intendo 64 'By these contingent things I mean
 
le cose generate, che produce 65 things generated, with seed or without,
 
con seme e sanza seme il ciel movendo. 66 produced by the movements of the heavens.
 
    La cera di costoro e chi la duce 67 'Their wax and that which molds it vary so
