    E qual è quei che disvuol ciò che volle 37 And as one who unwills what he has willed,
 
e per novi pensier cangia proposta, 38 changing his intent on second thought
 
sì che dal cominciar tutto si tolle, 39 so that he quite gives over what he has begun,
 
    tal mi fec' ïo 'n quella oscura costa, 40 such a man was I on that dark slope.
 
perché, pensando, consumai la 'mpresa 41 With too much thinking I had undone
 
che fu nel cominciar cotanto tosta. 42 the enterprise so quick in its inception.
