Creata fu la materia ch'elli hanno;
creata fu la virtù informante
in queste stelle che 'ntorno a lor vanno.

L'anima d'ogne bruto e de le piante
di complession potenziata tira
lo raggio e 'l moto de le luci sante;

Created was the matter
Created was the power to form
in the stars that wheel about them

The soul of every brute and plant
with its potential pulls
The rays and motion of the holy lights

Our origin is in the stars
we are made of the same stuff as suns
we are pulled by the same mysterious purpose
