pareva in te come lume reflesso,

per che ‘l mio viso in lei tutto era messo. 
Qual è ‘l geomètra che tutto s’affige 
per misurar lo cerchio, e non ritrova, 
pensando, quel principio ond’elli indige, 
tal era io a quella vista nova: 
veder voleva come si convenne 
l’imago al cerchio e come vi s’indova; 
ma non eran da ciò le proprie penne: 
se non che la mia mente fu percossa 
da un fulgore in che sua voglia venne. 
A l’alta fantasia qui mancò possa; 
ma già volgeva il mio disio e ‘l

sì come rota ch’igualmente è mossa, 
l’amor che move il sole e l’altre stelle.
