I made the father and the son rebel against each other''
Dante Inferno XXVIII, 134-136
The joyful
springtime
pleases me
That makes the leaves and flowers appear,
I'm pleased to hear the gaiety
Of birds, those echoes in the ear,
Of song through greenery;
I'm pleased when I see the field
With tents and pavilions free,
And joy then comes to me
All through the meadowlands to see
The heavy-armoured cavalry.

Hear, blessed Goddess, send a rich increase of various fruits from earth, with lovely Peace;
Send Health with gentle hand, and crown my life with blest abundance, free from noisy strife;
Last in extreme old age the prey of Death, dismiss we willing to the realms beneath,
To thy fair palace, and the
blissful
plains where happy spirits dwell, and Pluto [Plouton] reigns.
