A gentle Lady is in heaven, who grieves
At this impeachment, to which send thee,
So that stern Judgment there above is broken.
In her entreaty she besought Lucia
And sald Thy faithful one stands in need
Of thee and unto thee recommend him.
Lucia, foe of all that cruel is,

Where was sitting with the ancient Rachel

For thee he issued from the vulgar herd?

Came hther downward from my blessed seat,
Coniding in thy dignifed discourse,
Which honors thee and those who've listened to IT.
After she thus had spoken unto me,
Weeping, her shining eyes she turned away;
Whereby she made me swifter in my coming;
And unto thee came she desired;

Which barred the beautiful mountains short ascent
What is it. then? Why, why dost thou delay?
Why is such baseness bedded in thy heart

Are caring for thee in the court of Heaven,
And so much good my speech doth promise to thee p
Even as the fowerets, by Nocturnal chill,
Bowed down and closed, when the whitens them,
Uplift themselves all open their stems;

And such good courage to my heart there coursed,

And courteous thou, who has obeyed SO
The words of truth which she addressed to thee
Thou hast my heart so with desire disposed
To the adventure with those words of thine
That to my first intent have returned.
Now 60, for sole will is in us both,
Thou Leader, and thou Lord and Master thou"
Thus said to him; and when he had moved
entered on the deep and savage way.
