XLIII
Zerbino after some short space came back,
Who vainly Bradamant had thence pursued
Through the green holt; because the beaten track
Was lost in many others in the wood;
And he (for daylight now began to lack)
Feared night should catch him 'mid those mountains rude,
And with the impious woman thence, in quest
Of inn, from the
disastrous
valley prest.

Lo maggior corno de la fiamma antica
comincio a crollarsi mormorando,
pur come quella cui vento affatica;
indi la cima qua e la menando,
come fosse la lingua che parlasse,
gitto voce di fuori e disse: <
mi diparti' da Circe, che sottrasse
me piu d'un anno la presso a Gaeta,
prima che si Enea la nomasse,
ne dolcezza di figlio, ne la pieta
del vecchio padre, ne 'l debito amore
lo qual dovea Penelope far lieta,
vincer potero dentro a me l'ardore
ch'i' ebbi a divenir del mondo esperto
e de li vizi umani e del valore;
ma misi me per l'alto mare aperto
sol con un legno e con quella compagna
picciola
da la qual non fui diserto.

Deep furrows where your body's goodness fruits
I recall your hidden voice your public voice
I smile still at the proud woman
You treat like a beggar

And in my head which gently blends with yours with the night
