Dante's words (with English translation) are as follows:

O sanguis meus,
O blood of mine,

O superinfusa gratia Dei,
O grace of God poured into you,

sicut tibi, cui bis unquam coeli ianua reclusa,
to whom was Heaven’s Gate ever opened twice, as to you?

Così quel lume: ond’io m’attesi a lui;
So the light spoke, at which I directed my attention to him.

poscia rivolsi a la mia donna il viso,
Then I turned my face towards my Lady,

e quinci e quindi stupefatto fui;
and on this side and on that was stunned,

ché dentro a li occhi suoi ardeva un riso tal
since such a smile was blazing in her eyes,

ch’io pensai co’ miei toccar lo fondo
I thought with mine I had reached the end,

de la mia gloria e del mio paradiso.
of my grace, and my Paradise.
