From Project Gutenberg
Ha quanti il Cielo, ha quanti Iddii la Terra e l' Onda al parer vostro; Ma Dio solo � quell' un che il sommo chiostro Alberga in mezzo a mille Angeli santi, A cui sol giunte avanti Posan le pellegrine E stanche anime al fine, al fin del giorno, Tutto allegrando il Ciel del suo ritorno.
