A splendour of cherubic glory showed.

Of one I’ll speak; for, if we tell the worth 40

Of one, ’tis true of both, whiche’er we take,

For to one end each laboured from his birth.

Between Tupino and the streams that break 43

From the hill chosen by Ubaldo blest,

A lofty mount a fertile slope doth make;

Perugia’s Sun-gate from that lofty crest 46

Feels heat and cold; Nocer’ and Gualdo pine

Behind it, by their heavy yoke opprest.
