    Da queste due, se tu ti rechi a mente 106 'By toil and nature, if you remember Genesis,
 
lo Genesì dal principio, convene 107 near the beginning, it is man's lot
 
prender sua vita e avanzar la gente; 108 to earn his bread and prosper.
 
    e perché l'usuriere altra via tene, 109 'The usurer, who takes another path,
 
per sé natura e per la sua seguace 110 scorns nature in herself and in her follower,
 
dispregia, poi ch'in altro pon la spene. 111 and elsewhere sets his hopes.
