    Mentre ch'io forma fui d'ossa e di polpe 73 'While I still kept the form in flesh and bones
 
che la madre mi diè, l'opere mie 74 my mother gave me, my deeds were not
 
non furon leonine, ma di volpe. 75 a lion's but the actions of a fox.
 
    Li accorgimenti e le coperte vie 76 'Cunning stratagems and covert schemes,
 
io seppi tutte, e sì menai lor arte, 77 I knew them all, and was so skilled in them
 
ch'al fine de la terra il suono uscie. 78 my fame rang out to the far confines of the earth.
