    Ond' ei rispuose: "Tu vedrai Anteo 100 He replied: 'It is Antaeus you shall see.
 
presso di qui che parla ed è disciolto, 101 He is close by, he speaks, he is not fettered.
 
che ne porrà nel fondo d'ogne reo. 102 And he shall set us down into the very depth of sin.
 
    Quel che tu vuo' veder, più là è molto 103 'The one you want to see is farther on,
 
ed è legato e fatto come questo, 104 in fetters also, shaped like this one here,
 
salvo che più feroce par nel volto." 105 except that from his looks he seems more fierce.'
 
    Non fu tremoto già tanto rubesto, 106 Never did mighty earthquake shake a tower
 
che scotesse una torre così forte, 107 with such great speed and force
 
come Fïalte a scuotersi fu presto. 108 as Ephialtes shook himself at that.
 
    Allor temett' io più che mai la morte, 109 Then more than ever I was afraid of dying:
 
e non v'era mestier più che la dotta, 110 my fear alone would have sufficed to bring it on,
 
s'io non avessi viste le ritorte. 111 had I not noted how tightly he was bound.
 
    Noi procedemmo più avante allotta, 112 Going farther on, we came upon Antaeus.
 
e venimmo ad Anteo, che ben cinque alle, 113 Without the added measure of his head,
 
sanza la testa, uscia fuor de la grotta. 114 he stood a full five ells above the pit.
