dandole biasmo a torto e mala voce; 93 blaming and defaming her unjustly.
 
    ma ella s'è beata e ciò non ode: 94 'But she is blessed and does not hear them.
 
con l'altre prime creature lieta 95 Happy with the other primal creatures,
 
volve sua spera e beata si gode. 96 she turns her sphere, rejoicing in her bliss.
 
    Or discendiamo omai a maggior pieta; 97 'Now we must descend to greater anguish.
 
già ogne stella cade che saliva 98 For every star that rose when I set out
 
quand' io mi mossi, e 'l troppo star si vieta." 99 is sinking now -- and we must not linger here.'
 
    Noi ricidemmo il cerchio a l'altra riva 100 We crossed the circle to the other bank,
 
sovr' una fonte che bolle e riversa 101 beside a spring that bubbles up and flows
 
per un fossato che da lei deriva. 102 into a channel it makes for itself.
 
    L'acqua era buia assai più che persa; 103 The water was darker than the deepest purple.
 
e noi, in compagnia de l'onde bige, 104 Accompanied by its murky waves
 
intrammo giù per una via diversa. 105 we began our strange descent.
 
    In la palude va c'ha nome Stige 106 This dreary stream, once it has reached
 
questo tristo ruscel, quand' è disceso 107 these malignant, ashen slopes,
 
al piè de le maligne piagge grige. 108 drains out into the swamp called Styx.
