    ché non è impresa da pigliare a gabbo 7 It is no enterprise undertaken lightly --
 
discriver fondo a tutto l'universo, 8 to describe the very bottom of the universe --
 
né da lingua che chiami mamma o babbo. 9 nor for a tongue that still cries 'mommy' and 'daddy.'
 
    Ma quelle donne aiutino il mio verso 10 But may those ladies who aided Amphion
 
ch'aiutaro Anfïone a chiuder Tebe, 11 to build the walls of Thebes now aid my verse,
 
sì che dal fatto il dir non sia diverso. 12 that the telling be no different from the fact.
