    Ne l'ora che comincia i tristi lai 13 At the hour near the verge of morning,
 
la rondinella presso a la mattina, 14 when the swallow begins her plaintive song,
 
forse a memoria de' suo' primi guai, 15 remembering, perhaps, her woes of long ago,
 
    e che la mente nostra, peregrina 16 and when our mind, more pilgrim
 
più da la carne e men da' pensier presa, 17 from the flesh and less caught up in thoughts,
 
a le sue visïon quasi è divina, 18 is more prophetic in its visions,
