　　BEATRICE DESCENDING FROM HEAVEN.

　　Dante and Vergil mounted to the Terrestial Paradise, where, while they talked with Matilda, the Car of the Church Triumphant appeared in the greatest splendor. As it stopped before Dante it was enveloped in a shower of roses from the hands of a hundred angels.

　　I have beheld ere now, when dawn would pale,

　　The eastern hemisphere's tint of roseate sheen,

　　And all the opposite heaven one gem serene,

　　And the uprising sun, beneath such powers

　　Of vapory influence tempered, that the eye

　　For a long space its fiery shield could try:

　　E'en so, embosomed in a cloud of flowers,

　　Which from those hands angelical upward played,

　　And roseate all the car triumphal made,

　　And showered a snow-white veil with olive bound,

　　Appeared a Lady, green her mantle, name

　　Could not describe her robe unless 't were flame.

　　And mine own spirit, which the past had found

　　Often within her presence, free from awe,

　　And which could never from me trembling draw,

　　And sight no knowledge giving me at this time,

　　Through hidden virtue which from her came forth,

　　Of ancient love felt now the potent worth.

　　As soon as on my vision smote sublime

　　The heavenly influence that, ere boyhood's days

　　Had fled, had thrilled me and awoke my praise,

　　Unto the leftward turned I, with that trust

　　Wherewith a little child his mother seeks,

　　When fear his steps controls, and tear-stained cheeks,

　　To say to Vergil: "All my blood such gust

　　Of feeling moves as doth man's bravery tame;

　　I feel the traces of the ancient flame."
