    per ch'io dissi: "Maestro, esti tormenti 103 'Master,' I asked, 'after the great Judgment
 
crescerann' ei dopo la gran sentenza, 104 will these torments be greater, less,
 
o fier minori, o saran sì cocenti?" 105 or will they stay as harsh as they are now?'
 
    Ed elli a me: "Ritorna a tua scïenza, 106 And he replied: 'Return to your science,
 
che vuol, quanto la cosa è più perfetta, 107 which has it that, in measure of a thing's perfection,
 
più senta il bene, e così la doglienza. 108 it feels both more of pleasure and of pain.
 
    Tutto che questa gente maladetta 109 'Although these accursèd people
 
in vera perfezion già mai non vada, 110 will never come to true perfection,
 
di là più che di qua essere aspetta." 111 they will be nearer it than they are now.'
