    Una medesma lingua pria mi morse, 1 The same tongue that had stung me
 
sì che mi tinse l'una e l'altra guancia, 2 so that both my cheeks turned red,
 
e poi la medicina mi riporse; 3 had also brought my cure,
 
    così od' io che solea far la lancia 4 just as the spear of Achilles and his father --
 
d'Achille e del suo padre esser cagione 5 so I have heard it told -- would be the cause
 
prima di trista e poi di buona mancia. 6 first of a painful, then a welcome, gift.
 
    Noi demmo il dosso al misero vallone 7 We turned our backs upon that dismal valley,
 
su per la ripa che 'l cinge dintorno, 8 first climbing up the bank that circles it,
 
attraversando sanza alcun sermone. 9 then crossing over, while speaking not a word.
 
    Quiv' era men che notte e men che giorno, 10 Here it was less than night and less than day --
 
sì che 'l viso m'andava innanzi poco; 11 I could not see too far ahead.
 
ma io senti' sonare un alto corno, 12 But I heard a horn-blast that would have made
 
    tanto ch'avrebbe ogne tuon fatto fioco, 13 the loudest thunderclap seem faint.
 
che, contra sé la sua via seguitando, 14 To find its source I turned my eyes
 
dirizzò li occhi miei tutti ad un loco. 15 back to the place from which the din had come.
