    incontenenza, malizia e la matta 82 'incontinence, malice, and mad brutishness,
 
bestialitade? e come incontenenza 83 and how incontinence offends God less
 
men Dio offende e men biasimo accatta? 84 and incurs a lesser blame?
 
    Se tu riguardi ben questa sentenza, 85 'If you consider well this judgment
 
e rechiti a la mente chi son quelli 86 and consider who they are
 
che sù di fuor sostegnon penitenza, 87 that suffer punishment above, outside the wall,
 
    tu vedrai ben perché da questi felli 88 'you'll understand why they are set apart
 
sien dipartiti, e perché men crucciata 89 from these wicked spirits and why God's vengeance
 
la divina vendetta li martelli." 90 smites them with a lesser wrath.'
 
    "O sol che sani ogne vista turbata, 91 'O sun, you who heal all troubled sight,
 
tu mi contenti sì quando tu solvi, 92 you so content me by resolving doubts
 
che, non men che saver, dubbiar m'aggrata. 93 it pleases me no less to question than to know.
 
    Ancora in dietro un poco ti rivolvi," 94 'But go back a little way,' I said,
 
diss' io, "là dove di' ch'usura offende 95 'to where you told me usury offends
 
la divina bontade, e 'l groppo solvi." 96 God's goodness, and untie that knot for me.'
