Come, da più letizia pinti e tratti,
a la fiata quei che vanno a rota
levan la voce e rallegrano li atti,

così, a l'orazion pronta e divota,
li santi cerchi mostrar nova gioia
nel torneare e ne la mira nota.

As dancers, when drawn and driven
by greater gladness, lift their voices
and dance their dance with more exuberance,

so, hearing that prompt, devout request,
the blessed circles showed new joy
in wheeling dance and amazing Song.

Too many questions are weapons
as many are used as traps
but these do not have the power
(or beauty )

of a real question: asked, pursued, considered.
