    Se Dio ti lasci, lettor, prender frutto 19 Reader, so may God let you gather fruit
 
di tua lezione, or pensa per te stesso 20 from reading this, imagine, if you can,
 
com' io potea tener lo viso asciutto, 21 how I could have kept from weeping
 
    quando la nostra imagine di presso 22 when I saw, up close, our human likeness
 
vidi sì torta, che 'l pianto de li occhi 23 so contorted that tears from their eyes
 
le natiche bagnava per lo fesso. 24 ran down their buttocks, down into the cleft.
