    ché questa bestia, per la qual tu gride, 94 'For the beast that moves you to cry out
 
non lascia altrui passar per la sua via, 95 lets no man pass her way,
 
ma tanto lo 'mpedisce che l'uccide; 96 but so besets him that she slays him.
 
    e ha natura sì malvagia e ria, 97 'Her nature is so vicious and malign
 
che mai non empie la bramosa voglia, 98 her greedy appetite is never sated --
 
e dopo 'l pasto ha più fame che pria. 99 after she feeds she is hungrier than ever.
 
    Molti son li animali a cui s'ammoglia, 100 'Many are the creatures that she mates with,
 
e più saranno ancora, infin che 'l veltro 101 and there will yet be more, until the hound
 
verrà, che la farà morir con doglia. 102 shall come who'll make her die in pain.
 
    Questi non ciberà terra né peltro, 103 'He shall not feed on lands or lucre
 
ma sapïenza, amore e virtute, 104 but on wisdom, love, and power.
 
e sua nazion sarà tra feltro e feltro. 105 Between felt and felt shall be his birth.
 
    Di quella umile Italia fia salute 106 'He shall be the salvation of low-lying Italy,
 
per cui morì la vergine Cammilla, 107 for which maiden Camilla, Euryalus,
 
Eurialo e Turno e Niso di ferute. 108 Turnus, and Nisus died of their wounds.
