    Lo savio mio inver' lui gridò: "Forse 16 My sage cried out to him: 'You think,
 
tu credi che qui sia 'l duca d'Atene, 17 perhaps, this is the Duke of Athens,
 
che sù nel mondo la morte ti porse? 18 who in the world above put you to death.
 
    Pàrtiti, bestia, ché questi non vene 19 'Get away, you beast, for this man
 
ammaestrato da la tua sorella, 20 does not come tutored by your sister,
 
ma vassi per veder le vostre pene." 21 he comes to view your punishments.'
 
    Qual è quel toro che si slaccia in quella 22 Like the bull that breaks its tether
 
c'ha ricevuto già 'l colpo mortale, 23 just as it receives the mortal blow
 
che gir non sa, ma qua e là saltella, 24 and cannot run, but lunges here and there,
 
    vid' io lo Minotauro far cotale; 25 so raged the Minotaur. My artful guide
 
e quello accorto gridò: "Corri al varco; 26 called out: 'Run to the passage:
 
mentre ch'e' 'nfuria, è buon che tu ti cale." 27 hurry down while he is in his fury.'
 
    Così prendemmo via giù per lo scarco 28 And so we made our way down the steep landslide
 
di quelle pietre, che spesso moviensi 29 on scree that often shifted
 
sotto i miei piedi per lo novo carco. 30 under my feet with unexpected weight.
