Paradiso 9.103–105

Folquet to Dante in the sphere of Venus

Non però qui si pente, ma si ride,

non de la colpa, ch’a mente non torna,

ma del valor ch’ordinò e provide.

Yet here one does not repent, but smiles,

not over the fault, which does not return to mind,

but over the Power that ordered and foresaw.
