with gentle voice and6
it was the hour6
of the seven kings6

when thus my guide6
both one and other6
have peace or war6
the lowest of the6
to talk with me6
ye shall see me6
not far from death6
not irk thee here6
twenty miles the valley6
from the mortal world6
with their weight they6
and how and wherefore6
it may not be6
the songs of the6
of the holy church6
in his stead in6

to speak of him6
in a bark the6
ministers of the fifth6
three carats of alloy6
but when he saw6
we saw a painted6

who understood the tuscan6
of the seventh circle6

whose breast and shadow6
and ye shall see6

though on the arch6
for i write it6
long as i descended6
by the hair it6

by hill and plain6
such stairs as these6
for so i name6
and after him the6

in space so brief6
at the right wheel6

of him whose tongue6
but in the church6
thus in answer spake6
in the middle ages6
still to the left6

so long as i6
i could no further6
the action of the6
at the battle of6
the sons of earth6
in that long war6
beneath the mace of6
but a little space6
the serpents were my6
the shepherd of the6
to flatter in this6
that i told thee6
the bond of love6
with many a tear6
and thou for more6
i could not choose6

and thus it spake6
from eve to morn6
tell me who thou6
thou hadst it not6
not of myself i6
a little over us6
speak from whence ye6
one in front of6
had pleased me then6
fondness for my son6
since thou washest me6
my mother gave me6
for i am well6
if thou recall to6
as a man doth6
so may thy name6
