Per la natura lieta onde deriva,
la virtù mista per lo corpo luce
come letizia per pupilla viva.

Da essa vien ciò che da luce a luce
ciò che non da denso e raro;
essa è formal principio che produce,

conforme a sua bontà, lo turbo e 'l chiaro»

From the glad nature of its source,
The mingled virtues through the body shine,
Even as gladness through the living pupil.

From this comes that which is light to light
That which is not dense and rare:
This is the creative principle that produces,

According to its goodness, dark and bright.

We are like God, creators.
Joy starts and ends creation.
Pleasure of purpose fulfilled
