Encircled with the foliage of Minerva, Did not permit her to appear distinctly, In attitude still royally majestic Continued she, like unto one who speaks. And keeps his warmest utterance in reserve : " Look at me well ; in sooth, 1 'm Beatrice ! " PA^^ THE ASCENT TO PARADISE 4 THE glory of Him who moveth everything IDoth penetrate the universe and shine In one part more and in another less. Within that heaven which most his light receives Was I, and things beheld which to repeat Nor knows, nor... can, who from above descends ; Because in drawing near to its desire Our intellect ingulphs itself so far, That after it the memory cannot go. Truly whatever of the holy realm ! had the power to treasure in my mind Shall now become the subject of my song. O good Apollo, for this last emprise Make of me such a vessel of thy power As giving tlie beloved laurel asks ! O power divine, lend'st thou thyself to me So that the shadow of the blessed realm Stamped in my brain 1 can make manifest, , Thou 'It see me come unto thy darling tree, And crown myself thereafter with those leaves Of which the theme and thou shalt make me worthy.
