che acqua è questa che qui si dispiega 116 what water pours here from a single source,
 
da un principio e sé da sé lontana?" 117 then separates, departing from itself?'
 
    Per cotal priego detto mi fu: "Priega 118 To my question she replied: 'Ask your question
 
Matelda che 'l ti dica." E qui rispuose, 119 of Matelda.' And that fair lady answered,
 
come fa chi da colpa si dislega, 120 as one who would be free from any blame:
 
    la bella donna: "Questo e altre cose 121 'This and other things I have already told him.
 
dette li son per me; e son sicura 122 And I am certain that Lethe's waters
 
che l'acqua di Letè non gliel nascose." 123 did not conceal it from him.'
 
    E Bëatrice: "Forse maggior cura, 124 And Beatrice: 'Perhaps a greater care,
 
che spesse volte la memoria priva, 125 which often strips us of remembrance,
 
fatt' ha la mente sua ne li occhi oscura. 126 has veiled the eyes of his mind in darkness.
 
    Ma vedi Eünoè che là diriva: 127 'But see Eunoe streaming forth there.
 
menalo ad esso, e come tu se' usa, 128 Bring him to it and, as you are accustomed,
 
la tramortita sua virtù ravviva." 129 revive the powers that are dead in him.'
 
    Come anima gentil, che non fa scusa, 130 As a gentle spirit that makes no excuses
