    Né solo a me la tua risposta è uopo; 19 'It is not I alone who crave your answer.
 
ché tutti questi n'hanno maggior sete 20 All these others thirst for it more than the Indian
 
che d'acqua fredda Indo o Etïopo. 21 or Ethiopian who craves cold water.
 
    Dinne com' è che fai di te parete 22 'Tell us, how can it be your body makes
 
al sol, pur come tu non fossi ancora 23 a wall against the sun, as if you were
 
di morte intrato dentro da la rete." 24 not yet entangled in the net of death?'
 
    Sì mi parlava un d'essi; e io mi fora 25 asked one of them. I would have then
 
già manifesto, s'io non fossi atteso 26 made myself known had I not been intent
