    "Or se' tu quel Virgilio e quella fonte 79 'Are you then Virgil, the fountainhead
 
che spandi di parlar sì largo fiume?" 80 that pours so full a stream of speech?'
 
rispuos' io lui con vergognosa fronte. 81 I answered him, my head bent low in shame.
 
    "O de li altri poeti onore e lume, 82 'O glory and light of all other poets,
 
vagliami 'l lungo studio e 'l grande amore 83 let my long study and great love avail
 
che m'ha fatto cercar lo tuo volume. 84 that made me delve so deep into your volume.
 
    Tu se' lo mio maestro e 'l mio autore, 85 'You are my teacher and my author.
 
tu se' solo colui da cu' io tolsi 86 You are the one from whom alone I took
 
lo bello stilo che m'ha fatto onore. 87 the noble style that has brought me honor.
 
    Vedi la bestia per cu' io mi volsi; 88 'See the beast that forced me to turn back.
 
aiutami da lei, famoso saggio, 89 Save me from her, famous sage --
 
ch'ella mi fa tremar le vene e i polsi." 90 she makes my veins and pulses tremble.'
 
    "A te convien tenere altro vïaggio," 91 'It is another path that you must follow,'
 
rispuose, poi che lagrimar mi vide, 92 he answered, when he saw me weeping,
 
"se vuo' campar d'esto loco selvaggio; 93 'if you would flee this wild and savage place.
