Guido invites you thus

“Lappo I leave behind and Dante too,

Lo, I would sail the seas with thee alone!

Talk me no love talk, no bought-cheap fiddl'ry,

Mine is the ship and thine the merchandise,

All the blind earth knows not th’ emprise

Whereto thou calledst and whereto I call.

Lo, I have seen thee bound about with dreams,

Lo, I have known thy heart and its desire;

Life, all of it, my sea, and all men's streams

Are fused in it as flames of an altar fire!

Lo, thou hast voyaged not! The ship is mine.”
