43	"Ditemi, voi che sì strignete i petti,"	'Tell me, you with chests pressed close,' I said,
44	diss' io, "chi siete?" E quei piegaro i colli;	'who are you?' They strained their necks,
45	e poi ch'ebber li visi a me eretti,	and, when they had raised their faces,
46	li occhi lor, ch'eran pria pur dentro molli,	their eyes, till then moist only to the rims,
47	gocciar su per le labbra, e 'l gelo strinse	dripped tears down to their lips, and icy air
48	le lagrime tra essi e riserrolli.	then froze those tears -- and them to one another.
49	Con legno legno spranga mai non cinse	Clamp never gripped together board to board
50	forte così; ond' ei come due becchi	so tight, at which such anger overcame them
51	cozzaro insieme, tanta ira li vinse.	they butted at each other like two rams.
