Now the twin poles by thee discovered are,

The wheeling lights, and all the starry ways:

Thou seest our seeing falter from afar;

So thy delight the pain of loss allays.

But I beseech thee in that far third sphere

Greet Franceshino and the bard divine,

Cino, Guitton, and all thy comrades there;

And tell my Love, tell her what tears are mine,

And what dark moods of wilder sorrow breeds

The thought of her sweet face and saintly deeds.
