di retro ad esse Chiusi e Sinigaglia, 75 and Senigallia soon will join them,
 
    udir come le schiatte si disfanno 76 'then to hear how families come to nothing
 
non ti parrà nova cosa né forte, 77 will not seem strange or difficult to grasp,
 
poscia che le cittadi termine hanno. 78 since even cities cease to be.
 
    Le vostre cose tutte hanno lor morte, 79 'All your concerns are mortal, even as are you,
 
sì come voi; ma celasi in alcuna 80 but in some things that are more lasting
 
che dura molto, e le vite son corte. 81 this lies hidden, because all lives are brief.
 
    E come 'l volger del ciel de la luna 82 'And, as the turning of the lunar sphere covers
 
cuopre e discuopre i liti sanza posa, 83 and endlessly uncovers the edges of the shore,
 
così fa di Fiorenza la Fortuna: 84 thus does fortune deal with Florence.
 
    per che non dee parer mirabil cosa 85 'Then it should not seem strange or marvelous to you
 
ciò ch'io dirò de li alti Fiorentini 86 to hear me talk of noble Florentines,
 
onde è la fama nel tempo nascosa. 87 whose fame is buried in the depth of time.
 
    Io vidi li Ughi e vidi i Catellini, 88 'I saw the Ughi, I saw the Catellini,
 
Filippi, Greci, Ormanni e Alberichi, 89 Filippi, Greci, Ormanni and Alberichi,
