per che divenne mostro e poscia preda; 39 shall not remain without an heir forever.
 
    ch'io veggio certamente, e però il narro, 40 'For I see clearly and do thus declare:
 
a darne tempo già stelle propinque, 41 stars already near at hand promise us a time
 
secure d'ogn' intoppo e d'ogne sbarro, 42 safe from all delay, from all impediment,
 
    nel quale un cinquecento diece e cinque, 43 'when a Five Hundred Ten and Five,
 
messo di Dio, anciderà la fuia 44 sent by God, shall slay the thieving wench
 
con quel gigante che con lei delinque. 45 and the giant sinning there beside her.
 
    E forse che la mia narrazion buia, 46 'Perhaps my words, obscure as those of Themis
 
qual Temi e Sfinge, men ti persuade, 47 or the Sphinx, persuade you less
 
perch' a lor modo lo 'ntelletto attuia; 48 because, like theirs, they cloud your mind.
 
    ma tosto fier li fatti le Naiade, 49 'Events soon to occur shall be the Naiads
 
che solveranno questo enigma forte 50 that solve this hard enigma
 
sanza danno di pecore o di biade. 51 without the loss of flocks or ears of corn.
 
    Tu nota; e sì come da me son porte, 52 'Mark them, and, as they come from me,
 
così queste parole segna a' vivi 53 set these words down for those
