    Ma poscia ch'ebber colto lor vïaggio 16 But once the words had made their way
 
su per la punta, dandole quel guizzo 17 up to the tip, making it flicker
 
che dato avea la lingua in lor passaggio, 18 as the voice had done when it had formed them,
 
    udimmo dire: "O tu a cu' io drizzo 19 we heard it say: 'O you at whom I aim my voice
 
la voce e che parlavi mo lombardo, 20 and who, just now, said in the Lombard tongue:
 
dicendo 'Istra ten va, più non t'adizzo,' 21 "Now go your way, I ask you nothing more,"
 
    perch' io sia giunto forse alquanto tardo, 22 'though I've arrived, perhaps, a little late,
 
non t'incresca restare a parlar meco; 23 let it not trouble you to stay and speak with me.
 
vedi che non incresce a me, e ardo! 24 Though I am in the flame, as you can see, it irks me not.
 
    Se tu pur mo in questo mondo cieco 25 'If you are only a short while fallen
 
caduto se' di quella dolce terra 26 into this blind world from that sweet land
 
latina ond' io mia colpa tutta reco, 27 of Italy, from which I bring down all my sins,
 
    dimmi se Romagnuoli han pace o guerra; 28 'tell me if Romagna lives in peace or war.
 
ch'io fui d'i monti là intra Orbino 29 I came from where the mountains stand between
 
e 'l giogo di che Tever si diserra." 30 Urbino and the ridge from which the Tiber springs.'
