    O Muse, o alto ingegno, or m'aiutate; 7 O Muses, O lofty genius, aid me now!
 
o mente che scrivesti ciò ch'io vidi, 8 O memory, that set down what I saw,
 
qui si parrà la tua nobilitate. 9 here shall your worth be shown.
 
    Io cominciai: "Poeta che mi guidi, 10 I began: 'Poet, you who guide me,
 
guarda la mia virtù s'ell' è possente, 11 consider if my powers will suffice
 
prima ch'a l'alto passo tu mi fidi. 12 before you trust me to this arduous passage.
