Quas sibi cum velox mens induit, Terras perosa despicit, Aeris inmensi superat globum, Nubesque postergum videt, Quique agili motu calet aetheris, Transcendit ignis verticem, Donec in astriferas surgat domos Phoeboque coniungat vias Aut comitetur iter gelidi senis Miles corusci sideris, Vel quocumque micans nox pingitur, Recurrat astri circulum Atque ubi iam exhausti fuerit satis, Polum relinquat extimum Dorsaque velocis premat aetheris Compos verendi luminis.
When your quick mind has put them on, It looks down on the hated earth, Passes beyond the sphere of measureless air, And looks back at the clouds And climbs beyond the highest point of fire That burns with the rapid motion of the upper air,a Until it rise to the houses of the stars And join its path to Phoebus, Or go along the road with the cold old god, Squire to his shining star, Or where the glittering night is painted forth Turn with the circling stars; Then when it is satisfied with all so far achieved, It leaves the furthest pole, And stands on the outside of the swift upper air, Mastering its awful light.
