    necessità però quindi non prende 40 'yet are by that no more enjoined
 
se non come dal viso in che si specchia 41 than is a ship, moved downstream on a river's flow,
 
nave che per torrente giù discende. 42 by the eyes that mirror it.
 
    Da indi, sì come viene ad orecchia 43 'And thus, as harmony's sweet sound may rise
 
dolce armonia da organo, mi viene 44 from mingled voices to the ear, so rises to my sight
 
a vista il tempo che ti s'apparecchia. 45 a vision of the time that lies in store for you.
 
    Qual si partio Ipolito d'Atene 46 'As Hippolytus was forced to flee from Athens,
 
per la spietata e perfida noverca, 47 because of his stepmother, treacherous and fierce,
 
tal di Fiorenza partir ti convene. 48 so shall you be forced to flee from Florence.
 
    Questo si vuole e questo già si cerca, 49 'This is the plan, already set in motion,
 
e tosto verrà fatto a chi ciò pensa 50 that soon will bring success to him who plots it
 
là dove Cristo tutto dì si merca. 51 where Christ is bought and sold all day.
 
    La colpa seguirà la parte offensa 52 'The populace shall blame the injured party,
 
in grido, come suol; ma la vendetta 53 as it always does, but vengeance
 
fia testimonio al ver che la dispensa. 54 shall bear witness to the Truth that metes it out.
