    Romagna tua non è, e non fu mai, 37 'your Romagna is not, and never was,
 
sanza guerra ne' cuor de' suoi tiranni; 38 free of warfare in her rulers' hearts.
 
ma 'n palese nessuna or vi lasciai. 39 Still, no open warfare have I left behind.
 
    Ravenna sta come stata è molt' anni: 40 'Ravenna remains as it has been for years.
 
l'aguglia da Polenta la si cova, 41 The eagle of Polenta broods over it
 
sì che Cervia ricuopre co' suoi vanni. 42 so that he covers Cervia with his wings.
 
    La terra che fé già la lunga prova 43 'The town that once withstood the lengthy siege,
 
e di Franceschi sanguinoso mucchio, 44 making of the French a bloody heap,
 
sotto le branche verdi si ritrova. 45 is now again beneath the green claws of the lion.
 
    E 'l mastin vecchio e 'l nuovo da Verrucchio, 46 'The elder mastiff of Verrucchio and the younger,
 
che fecer di Montagna il mal governo, 47 who between them had harsh dealing with Montagna,
 
là dove soglion fan d'i denti succhio. 48 sharpen their teeth to augers in the customary place.
 
    Le città di Lamone e di Santerno 49 'The young lion on a field of white,
 
conduce il lïoncel dal nido bianco, 50 who rules Lamone's and Santerno's cities,
 
che muta parte da la state al verno. 51 changes sides between the summer and the snows.
