THE DEATH OF ADAM
49
"Bear the bright pure soulof splendid Adam with his accompanying bands,place it . . . . . . in the third kingly division of Paradise."
"'In the third heaven,' said God,'which is called Ficconicia;let it be there without sign of paintill the time of the Resurrection.'"
All the grades in every sphereboth of angels and archangels,sweet was their pure choruspraising the Creator;
For the remission to the soul of Adamfrom its sins, from its vices;that it should be broughtagain to Paradise.
Let the oil of mercyand the herb "ornamentum" be bestowedabout the body of Adamto cleanse it from its vileness.
Around the body of Adamlet three wholesome linen cloths, of special honour, be arranged;and let it be buried exactlyat the side of Abel's sepulchre.
