    Mira c'ha fatto petto de le spalle; 37 'See how his shoulder-blades are now his chest.
 
perché volse veder troppo davante, 38 Because he aspired to see too far ahead
 
di retro guarda e fa retroso calle. 39 he looks behind and treads a backward path.
 
    Vedi Tiresia, che mutò sembiante 40 'See Tiresias, who changed his likeness
 
quando di maschio femmina divenne, 41 when he was turned from male to female,
 
cangiandosi le membra tutte quante; 42 transformed in every member.
