Note 175 — SECOND PART. The Astronomy of Dante.
Reading edition
“At what times both the children of Latona, Surmounted by the Ram and by the Scales, Together make a zone of the horizon, As long as from the time the zenith holds them In equipoise, till from that girdle both Changing their hemisphere disturb the balance, So long, her face depicted with a smile, Did Beatrice keep silence.” Par. xxix. 1-8.
