    Per più fïate li occhi ci sospinse 130 'More than once that reading made our eyes meet
 
quella lettura, e scolorocci il viso; 131 and drained the color from our faces.
 
ma solo un punto fu quel che ci vinse. 132 Still, it was a single instant overcame us:
 
    Quando leggemmo il disïato riso 133 'When we read how the longed-for smile
 
esser basciato da cotanto amante, 134 was kissed by so renowned a lover, this man,
 
questi, che mai da me non fia diviso, 135 who never shall be parted from me,
 
    la bocca mi basciò tutto tremante. 136 'all trembling, kissed me on my mouth.
 
Galeotto fu 'l libro e chi lo scrisse: 137 A Galeotto was the book and he that wrote it.
 
quel giorno più non vi leggemmo avante." 138 That day we read in it no further.'
 
    Mentre che l'uno spirto questo disse, 139 While the one spirit said this
 
l'altro piangëa; sì che di pietade 140 the other wept, so that for pity
 
io venni men così com' io morisse. 141 I swooned as if in death.
 
E caddi come corpo morto cade. 142 And down I fell as a dead body falls.
