Canto XIII
Imagini, chi bene intender cupe
quel ch'i' or vidi--e ritegna l'image,
mentre ch'io dico, come ferma rupe--,
quindici stelle che 'n diverse plage
lo ciel avvivan di tanto sereno
che soperchia de l'aere ogne compage;
imagini quel carro a cu' il seno
basta del nostro cielo e notte e giorno,
si ch'al volger del temo non vien meno;
imagini la bocca di quel corno
che si
comincia
in punta de lo stelo
a cui la prima rota va dintorno,
aver fatto di se due segni in cielo,
qual fece la figliuola di Minoi
allora che senti di morte il gelo;
e l'un ne l'altro aver li raggi suoi,
e amendue girarsi per maniera
che l'uno andasse al primo e l'altro al poi;
e avra quasi l'ombra de la vera
costellazione e de la doppia danza
che circulava il punto dov' io era:
poi ch'e tanto di la da nostra usanza,
quanto di la dal mover de la Chiana
si move il ciel che tutti li altri avanza.

The windel-straw nor grass so shook and trembled;
As the good and gallant stripling shook and trembled;
A linen shirt so fine his frame invested,
O'er the shirt was drawn a bright pelisse of scarlet
The sleeves of that pelisse
depended
backward,
The lappets of its front were button'd backward,
And were spotted with the blood of unbelievers;
See the good and gallant stripling reeling goeth,
From his eyeballs hot and briny tears distilling;
On his bended bow his figure he supporteth,
Till his bended bow has lost its goodly gilding;
Not a single soul the stripling good encounter'd,
Till encounter'd he the mother dear who bore him:
O my boy, O my treasure, and my darling!

Let her descend, and from the embattled plain
Command the sea-god to his watery reign:

And calls his senses from the verge of death.

mimosa,
So, at the hoof-beats of fate, with sad forebodings of evil,
Shrinks and closes the heart, ere the stroke of doom has attained it.

Daughter of tarn and tor, the moors that were once her home
No longer know her step on the upland tracks forlorn
