Amazed by this song, I turned towards Jeanne,  such as a child who have recourse to his mother, 
as to Whom who he has the most confidence; she, to reassure me, tells me: 
"Do not fear anything because you are in Heaven, and know that heaven is all holiness, and that 
what is done here is all sanctified. That this only cry has moved you so much, how much then 
my song and my smile would have overpowered you, if you had been able to understand 
what my prayers signified, you would know already the distress of the world before you did die. 
God strikes neither early nor late, if it is not to the feeling of whom who awaits Him in desire or fear. 
But turn yourself now towards other spirits, because you will see many famous ones, 
if you carry your glances as I tell you to." 

I directed my eyes as she it pleases her, and I saw a hundred small spheres, which enbellished one another
with their rays. I restrained my desire to question them, by fear to be importunate. 
The largest and the most brilliant of these pearls came ahead, to satisfy my desire to know her. 

Then I heard in her: 
"If you could saw, like me, the charity who burn among us, 
you would have already expressed the desires which torment you, but so that waiting
does not delay you in the pursuit of your ultimate desire, I will answer to this thought 
that you hesitate making known to me. 
This place, at the top of which is the Parnassus, was attended, formerly, by people, 
like you, in the error and of bad morals; and it is me who carried there and the name of Whom 
who brought, on earth, the virtue which raises us so high, so much grace shone in me, 
that I pull off their soul from the impious worship which still allures the world. 
These other fires were also maidservants, set ablaze by the same ardour, 
which gives birth to orgasm and joy in the souls.

I am Aglae, and here are Thalie and Euphrosyne. 
Here are the Graces, my sisters, who fixed their stay in the lubricous dreams of the poets 
and made there germinate so many beautiful works."

 I answered to her: 
"Love that you show me while speaking to me, and the benevolence which I see 
and which I note in all your fires, had incresed my desire in you, as well as the beauty does to the girl, 
when she blooms herself  as far as she wants it. I address to you my prayer, to you my sister,
 teach me if I can receive enough grace, to enjoy in your soul an eternal happiness."

 She answered to me:
 "My son, your desire so high will be achieved up there, in the last sphere, 
where are achieved all the desires as much as your. There, all passions 
become joined together in a perfect and indivisible entity. It is there that takes us this ladder,
that you see in this motionless place, where all the perfections are gathered. This is why you 
can seize in us, only your desires, without seeing those which we keep in ourselves, 
who are veiled to your vision. It is this ladder that saw Jacob when it appeared to him so full of angels, 
and that one must climb by stripping himself of all his desires and passions 
which feed only  the mortal, and which are only transitory pastimes. 
Your sins do not offend God as much, that the morals of the elected ones and of their bawlers,
 but the flesh is so weak, that it does not last more time than needed to a  new-born baby
to suck the breast of his mother." 

Thus she spoke; then she joined her court, which gathered, and then rose in a whole, 
like a swirl pushed by the wind, and which left me unsatiated in my carnal desires. 

The soft lady, from a thought, attracted me behind her, by this ladder, until up there, 
so much her virtuetriumphed from my vulgar nature. Never movement was so fast that one 
could ever equalized it on earth, where one uses of so many mechanics to do it. 

That never I go back, oh reader, to this paradise, which make me often cry for my sins 
and strike myself on my chest, if I saw the constellation of the Virgin, and invest myself in it, 
and from which I receive all the genius, whatever it be, which is in me! 

My soul, now, devotely whisper towards you, in order to acquire 
the  necessary virtue to cross the difficult passage which attracts it to Her.

 Then Jeanne says to me: 
"You are so close to the supreme salvation, that you must keep eyes quite clear 
and penetrating. Also, before entering there further, look below, and see all that world 
you must leave under your feet, so that your heart show itself, as merry as it can be,
to the triumphant army which comes, in joyfulness, by this etheral circle." 

Then, full of wisdom, I diverted my eyes from the earth to turn my glances
 towards the seven celestial spheres. I saw all these things, then,
towards the beautiful eyes of my Beauty, I diverted my eyes
