Li angeli electi et l’anime beate
Language: Italian (Italiano)
Li angeli electi et l’anime beate cittadine del cielo, il primo giorno che madonna passò, le fur intorno piene di meraviglia et di pietate. "Che luce è questa, et qual nova beltate? - dicean tra lor - perch’abito sí adorno dal mondo errante a quest’alto soggiorno non salí mai in tutta questa etate". Ella, contenta aver cangiato albergo, si paragona pur coi piú perfecti, et parte ad or ad or si volge a tergo, mirando s’io la seguo, et par ch’aspecti: ond’io voglie et pensier’ tutti al ciel ergo perch’i’ l’odo pregar pur ch’i’ m’affretti.

Kogda ona voshla v nebesnye selen'ja
Language: Russian (Русский)  after the Italian (Italiano)
Kogda ona voshla v nebesnye selen'ja, Jejo so vsekh storon sobor nebesnykh sil, V blagogovenii i tikhom izumlen'i, Iz glubiny nebes sletevshis', okruzhil. «Kto `eto? — shjopotom drug druga voproshali: — Davno uzh iz strany poroka i pechali Ne voskhodilo k nam v sijan'i chistoty Stol' strogo-devstvennoj i svetloj krasoty». I, tikho radujas', ona v ikh sonm vstupajet, No, zamedljaja shag, svoj vzor po vremenam S zabotoj nezhnoju na zemlju obrashchajet I zhdjot — idu li ja za neju po sledam… Ja znaju, milaja! Ja den' i noch' na strazhe! Ja gospoda molju! molju i zhdu — kogda zhe?..
