TranslationLike the cranes, who, when flying through the air.go in a line following one another. and their queen by herself flies before them all. as I looked towards the orb of the sun. a voice turned me towards a part. in the third heaven, which Love rules, where I saw, with desire, a lady before other ladies. and she led them as she leads my heart.
