    Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore; 4 JUSTICE MOVED MY MAKER ON HIGH.
 
fecemi la divina podestate, 5 DIVINE POWER MADE ME,
 
la somma sapïenza e 'l primo amore. 6 WISDOM SUPREME, AND PRIMAL LOVE.
 
    Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create 7 BEFORE ME NOTHING WAS BUT THINGS ETERNAL,
 
se non etterne, e io etterno duro. 8 AND ETERNAL I ENDURE.
 
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate." 9 ABANDON ALL HOPE, YOU WHO ENTER HERE.
 
    Queste parole di colore oscuro 10 These words, dark in hue, I saw inscribed
 
vid' ïo scritte al sommo d'una porta; 11 over an archway. And then I said:
 
per ch'io: "Maestro, il senso lor m'è duro." 12 'Master, for me their meaning is hard.'
