sembiava carca ne la sua magrezza, 50 seemed charged with all the appetites
 
e molte genti fé già viver grame, 51 that have made many live in wretchedness
 
    questa mi porse tanto di gravezza 52 so weighed my spirits down with terror,
 
con la paura ch'uscia di sua vista, 53 which welled up at the sight of her,
 
ch'io perdei la speranza de l'altezza. 54 that I lost hope of making the ascent.
 
    E qual è quei che volontieri acquista, 55 And like one who rejoices in his gains
