    E io, che di mirare stava inteso, 109 And I, my gaze transfixed, could see
 
vidi genti fangose in quel pantano, 110 people with angry faces in that bog,
 
ignude tutte, con sembiante offeso. 111 naked, their bodies smeared with mud.
 
    Queste si percotean non pur con mano, 112 They struck each other with their hands,
 
ma con la testa e col petto e coi piedi, 113 their heads, their chests and feet,
 
troncandosi co' denti a brano a brano. 114 and tore each other with their teeth.
 
    Lo buon maestro disse: "Figlio, or vedi 115 The good master said: 'Son, now you see
 
l'anime di color cui vinse l'ira; 116 the souls of those whom anger overcame.
 
e anche vo' che tu per certo credi 117 And I would have you know for certain
 
    che sotto l'acqua è gente che sospira, 118 'that plunged beneath these waters,
 
e fanno pullular quest' acqua al summo, 119 as your eyes will tell you, are souls whose sighs
 
come l'occhio ti dice, u' che s'aggira. 120 with bubbles make the water's surface seethe.
 
    Fitti nel limo dicon: 'Tristi fummo 121 'Fixed in the slime they say: "We were sullen
 
ne l'aere dolce che dal sol s'allegra, 122 in the sweet air that in the sun rejoices,
 
portando dentro accidïoso fummo: 123 filled as we were with slothful fumes.
 
    or ci attristiam ne la belletta negra.' 124 '"Now we are sullen in black mire."
