daughter of the Artist supreme –
for your divine face teaches that you are no mortal,
nor do you lament our race’s taint –
your countenance proves you a goddess,
your sceptre proclaims you queen,
and your glory shows you are born of God:
To you the abode of the gods lies open,
and the way of heaven,
the bounds of Olympus,
the world beyond our world,
the realm of the Thunderer –
and the throne of God and the fate beyond
Alain de Lille
Anticlaudianus de Antirufino (1184)
