    Ma quel demonio che tenea sermone 103 But the demon who was speaking with my leader
 
col duca mio, si volse tutto presto 104 turned round at once and said:
 
e disse: "Posa, posa, Scarmiglione!" 105 'Easy does it, Scarmiglione!'
 
    Poi disse a noi: "Più oltre andar per questo 106 And then to us: 'You can't continue farther
 
iscoglio non si può, però che giace 107 down this ridge, for the sixth arch
 
tutto spezzato al fondo l'arco sesto. 108 lies broken into pieces at the bottom.
 
    E se l'andare avante pur vi piace, 109 'If you desire to continue on,
 
andatevene su per questa grotta; 110 then make your way along this rocky ledge.
 
presso è un altro scoglio che via face. 111 Nearby's another crag that yields a passage.
 
    Ier, più oltre cinqu' ore che quest' otta, 112 'Yesterday, at a time five hours from now,
 
mille dugento con sessanta sei 113 it was a thousand two hundred sixty-six years
 
anni compié che qui la via fu rotta. 114 since the road down here was broken.
 
    Io mando verso là di questi miei 115 'I'm sending some men of mine along that way
 
a riguardar s'alcun se ne sciorina; 116 to see if anyone is out to take the air.
 
gite con lor, che non saranno rei." 117 Go with them -- they won't hurt you.'
