  Video recreated in honour of the composer
  "O sanguis meus, o superinfusa
  Gratia Dei, sicut tibi, cui
  bis unquam Coeli ianua reclusa?"
  
  "O thou my blood, O overflowing Grace
  of God, to whom, as unto thee, was e’er
  the Gate of Heaven unlocked a second time?”
  
  
  Così quel lume; ond’ io m’ attesi a lui;
  poscia rivolsi alla mia Donna il viso,
  e quinci e quindi stupefatto fui;
  
  Thus spoke that light; hence I thereto gave heed;
  then to my Lady turning back my face,
  I was on this side and on that amazed;
  
  
  chè dentro agli occhi suoi ardeva un riso
  tal, ch’ io pensai co’ miei toccar lo fondo
  della mia gloria e del mio Paradiso.
  
  for such a smile was glowing in her eyes,
  that I with my thought I had touched the depths
  both of my glory and of my Paradise  less
