How oft do they with golden pinions cleave The flitting skies, like flying pursuivant, Against foul fiends to aid us militant ! They for us fight, they watch and duly ward, And their bright squadrons round about us plant, And all for love, and nothing for reward : Oh, why should heavenly God to men have such regard ?1 This agrees with what is recorded of St.

Page ci - A dungeon horrible on all sides round As one great furnace flamed; yet from those flames No light; but rather darkness visible Served only to discover sights of woe, Regions of sorrow, doleful shades, where peace And rest can never dwell, hope never comes That comes to all; but torture without end Still urges, and a fiery deluge, fed With ever-burning sulphur unconsumed.
Page cclix - IN forma dunque di candida rosa Mi si mostrava la milizia santa, Che nel suo sangue CRISTO fece sposa ; Ma l' altra, che volando vede e canta La gloria di colui che la innamora, E la bontà che la fece cotanta, Sì come schiera d' api, che s' infiora Una fiata, ed una si ritorna Là dove suo lavoro s' insapora, Nel gran fior discendeva, che s...
Page cciv - De' nostri successor parte sedesse, Parte dall'altra del popol cristiano. Nè che le Chiavi, che mi fur concesse, Divenisser segnacolo in vessillo Che contra i battezzati combattesse. Nè ch' io fossi figura di sigillo A' privilegi venduti e mendaci, Ond' io sovente arrosso e disfavillo.
