Ipocràte, Avicenna e Galïeno, 143 Hippocrates, Avicenna, Galen,
 
Averoìs che 'l gran comento feo. 144 and Averroes, who wrote the weighty glosses.
 
    Io non posso ritrar di tutti a pieno, 145 I cannot give account of all of them,
 
però che sì mi caccia il lungo tema, 146 for the length of my theme so drives me on
 
che molte volte al fatto il dir vien meno. 147 that often the telling comes short of the fact.
 
    La sesta compagnia in due si scema: 148 The company of six falls off to two
 
per altra via mi mena il savio duca, 149 and my wise leader brings me by another way
 
fuor de la queta, ne l'aura che trema. 150 out of the still, into the trembling, air.
 
E vegno in parte ove non è che luca. 151 And I come to a place where nothing shines.
