soffi con sangue doloroso sermo?" 138 pour out with blood your doleful words?'
 
    Ed elli a noi: "O anime che giunte 139 And he to us: 'O souls who have arrived
 
siete a veder lo strazio disonesto 140 to see the shameless carnage
 
c'ha le mie fronde sì da me disgiunte, 141 that has torn from me my leaves,
 
    raccoglietele al piè del tristo cesto. 142 'gather them here at the foot of this wretched bush.
 
I' fui de la città che nel Batista 143 I was of the city that traded patrons --
 
mutò 'l primo padrone; ond' ei per questo 144 Mars for John the Baptist. On that account
 
    sempre con l'arte sua la farà trista; 145 'Mars with his craft will make her grieve forever.
 
e se non fosse che 'n sul passo d'Arno 146 And were it not that at the crossing of the Arno
 
rimane ancor di lui alcuna vista, 147 some vestige of him still remains,
 
    que' cittadin che poi la rifondarno 148 'those citizens who afterwards rebuilt it

avrebber fatto lavorare indarno. 150 would have done their work in vain.
 
Io fei gibetto a me de le mie case." 151 I made my house into my gallows.'
