INFERNO



Inferno�此�Canto I


Midway upon the journey of our life
  I found myself within a forest dark��
  For the straightforward pathway had been lost。

Ah me� �how hard a thing it is to say
  What was this forest savage�察�rough�察�and stern��
  Which in the very thought renews the fear。

So bitter is it�察�death is little more��
  But of the good to treat�察�which there I found��
  Speak will I of the other things I saw there。

I cannot well repeat how there I entered��
  So full was I of slumber at the moment
  In which I had abandoned the true way。

But after I had reached a mountain's foot��
  At that point where the valley terminated��
  Which had with consternation pierced my heart��

Upward I looked�察�and I beheld its shoulders��
  Vested already with that planet's rays
  Which leadeth others right by every road。

Then was the fear a little quieted
  That in my heart's lake had endured throughout
  The night�察�which I had passed so piteously。

And even as he�察�who�察�with distressful breath��
  Forth issued from the sea upon the shore��
  Turns to the water perilous and gazes��

So did my soul�察�that still was fleeing onward��
  Turn itself back to re´behold the pass
  Which never yet a living person left。

After my weary body I had rested��
  The way resumed I on the desert slope��
  So that the firm foot ever was the lower。

And lo� �almost where the ascent began��
  A panther light and swift exceedingly��
  Which with a spotted skin was covered o'er��

And never moved she from before my face��
  Nay�察�rather did impede so much my way��
  That many times I to return had turned。

The time was the beginning of the morning��
  And up the sun was mounting with those stars
  That with him were�察�what time the Love Divine

At first in motion set those beauteous things��
  So were to me occasion of good hope��
  The variegated skin of that wild beast��

The hour of time�察�and the delicious season��
  But not so much�察�that did not give me fear
  A lion's aspect which appeared to me。

He seemed as if against me he were coming
  With head uplifted�察�and with ravenous hunger��
  So that it seemed the air was afraid of him��

And a she´wolf�察�that with all hungerings
  Seemed to be laden in her meagreness��
  And many folk has caused to live forlorn��

She brought upon me so much heaviness��
  With the affright that from her aspect came��
  That I the hope relinquished of the height。

And as he is who willingly acquires��
  And the time comes that causes him to lose��
  Who weeps in all his thoughts and is despondent��

E'en such made me that beast withouten peace��
  Which�察�coming on against me by degrees
  Thrust me back thither where the sun is silent。

While I was rushing downward to the lowland��
  Before mine eyes did one present himself��
  Who seemed from long´continued silence hoarse。

When I beheld him in the desert vast��
  ;Have pity on me�察─�unto him I cried��
  ;Whiche'er thou art�察�or shade or real man� �

He answered me�此 �Not man�察�man once I was��
  And both my parents were of Lombardy��
  And Mantuans by country both of them。

'Sub Julio' was I born�察�though it was late��
  And lived at Rome under the good Augustus��
  During the time of false and lying gods。

A poet was I�察�and I sang that just
  Son of Anchises�察�who came forth from Troy��
  After that Ilion the superb was burned。

But thou�察�why goest thou back to such annoyance��
  Why climb'st thou not the Mount Delectable��
  Which is the source and cause of every joy�拭�

;Now�察�art thou that Virgilius and that fountain
  Which spreads abroad so wide a river of speech�拭�
  I made response to him with bashful forehead。

;O�察�of the other poets honour and light��
  Avail me the long study and great love
  That have impelled me to explore thy volume��

Thou art my master�察�and my author thou��
  Thou art alone the one from whom I took
  The beautiful style that has done honour to me。

Behold the beast�察�for which I have turned back��
  Do thou protect me from her�察�famous Sage��
  For she doth make my veins and pulses tremble。;

;Thee it behoves to take another road�察�
  Responded he�察�when he beheld me weeping��
  ;If from this savage place thou wouldst escape��

Because this beast�察�at which thou criest out��
  Suffers not any one to pass her way��
  But so doth harass him�察�that she destroys him��

And has a nature so malign and ruthless��
  That never doth she glut her greedy will��
  And after food is hungrier than before。

Many the animals with whom she weds��
  And more they shall be still�察�until the Greyhound
  Comes�察�who shall make her perish in her pain。

He shall not feed on either earth or pelf��
  But upon wisdom�察�and on love and virtue��
  'Twixt Feltro and Feltro shall his nation be��

Of that low Italy shall he be the saviour��
  On whose account the maid Camilla died��
  Euryalus�察�Turnus�察�Nisus�察�of their wounds��

Through every city shall he hunt her down��
  Until he shall have driven her back to Hell��
  There from whence envy first did let her loose。

Therefore I think and judge it for thy best
  Thou follow me�察�and I will be thy guide��
  And lead thee hence through the eternal place��

Where thou shalt hear the desperate lamentations��
  Shalt see the ancient spirits disconsolate��
  Who cry out each one for the second death��

And thou shalt see those who contented are
  Within the fire�察�because they hope to come��
  Whene'er it may be�察�to the blessed people��

To whom�察�then�察�if thou wishest to ascend��
  A soul shall be for that than I more worthy��
  With her at my departure I will leave thee��

Because that Emperor�察�who reigns above��
  In that I was rebellious to his law��
  Wills that through me none come into his city。

He governs everywhere�察�and there he reigns��
  There is his city and his lofty throne��
  O happy he whom thereto he elects� �

And I to him�此 �Poet�察�I thee entreat��
  By that same God whom thou didst never know��
  So that I may escape this woe and worse��

Thou wouldst conduct me there where thou hast said��
  That I may see the portal of Saint Peter��
  And those thou makest so disconsolate。;

Then he moved on�察�and I behind him followed。



Inferno�此�Canto II


Day was departing�察�and the embrowned air
  Released the animals that are on earth
  From their fatigues�察�and I the only one

Made myself ready to sustain the war��
  Both of the way and likewise of the woe��
  Which memory that errs not shall retrace。

O Muses�察�O high genius�察�now assist me��
  O memory�察�that didst write down what I saw��
  Here thy nobility shall be manifest��

And I began�此 �Poet�察�who guidest me��
  Regard my manhood�察�if it be sufficient��
  Ere to the arduous pass thou dost confide me。

Thou sayest�察�that of Silvius the parent��
  While yet corruptible�察�unto the world
  Immortal went�察�and was there bodily。

But if the adversary of all evil
  Was courteous�察�thinking of the high effect
  That issue would from him�察�and who�察�and what��

To men of intellect unmeet it seems not��
  For he was of great Rome�察�and of her empire
  In the empyreal heaven as father chosen��

The which and what�察�wishing to speak the truth��
  Were stablished as the holy place�察�wherein
  Sits the successor of the greatest Peter。

Upon this journey�察�whence thou givest him vaunt��
  Things did he hear�察�which the occasion were
  Both of his victory and the papal mantle。

Thither went afterwards the Chosen Vessel��
  To bring back comfort thence unto that Faith��
  Which of salvation's way is the beginning。

But I�察�why thither come�察�or who concedes it��
  I not Aeneas am�察�I am not Paul��
  Nor I�察�nor others�察�think me worthy of it。

Therefore�察�if I resign myself to come��
  I fear the coming may be ill´advised��
  Thou'rt wise�察�and knowest better than I speak。;

And as he is�察�who unwills what he willed��
  And by new thoughts doth his intention change��
  So that from his design he quite withdraws��

Such I became�察�upon that dark hillside��
  Because�察�in thinking�察�I consumed the emprise��
  Which was so very prompt in the beginning。

;If I have well thy language understood�察�
  Replied that shade of the Magnanimous��
  ;Thy soul attainted is with cowardice��

Which many times a man encumbers so��
  It turns him back from honoured enterprise��
  As false sight doth a beast�察�when he is shy。

That thou mayst free thee from this apprehension��
  I'll tell thee why I came�察�and what I heard
  At the first moment when I grieved for thee。

Among those was I who are in suspense��
  And a fair�察�saintly Lady called to me
  In such wise�察�I besought her to command me。

Her eyes where shining brighter than the Star��
  And she began to say�察�gentle and low��
  With voice angelical�察�in her own language��

'O spirit courteous of Mantua��
  Of whom the fame still in the world endures��
  And shall endure�察�long´lasting as the world��

A friend of mine�察�and not the friend of fortune��
  Upon the desert slope is so impeded
  Upon his way�察�that he has turned through terror��

And may�察�I fear�察�already be so lost��
  That I too late have risen to his succour��
  From that which I have heard of him in Heaven。

Bestir thee now�察�and with thy speech ornate��
  And with what needful is for his release��
  Assist him so�察�that I may be consoled。

Beatrice am I�察�who do bid thee go��
  I come from there�察�where I would fain return��
  Love moved me�察�which compelleth me to speak。

When I shall be in presence of my Lord��
  Full often will I praise thee unto him。'
  Then paused she�察�and thereafter I began��

'O Lady of virtue�察�thou alone through whom
  The human race exceedeth all contained
  Within the heaven that has the lesser circles��

So grateful unto me is thy commandment��
  To obey�察�if 'twere already done�察�were late��
  No farther need'st thou ope to me thy wish。

But the cause tell me why thou dost not shun
  The here descending down into this centre��
  From the vast place thou burnest to return to。'

'Since thou wouldst fain so inwardly discern��
  Briefly will I relate��' she answered me��
  'Why I am not afraid to enter here。

Of those things only should one be afraid
  Which have the power of doing others harm��
  Of the rest�察�no�察�because they are not fearful。

God in his mercy such created me
  That misery of yours attains me not��
  Nor any flame assails me of this burning。

A gentle Lady is in Heaven�察�who grieves
  At this impediment�察�to which I send thee��
  So that stern judgment there above is broken。

In her entreaty she besought Lucia��
  And said�察 �Thy faithful one now stands in need
  Of thee�察�and unto thee I recommend him。;

Lucia�察�foe of all that cruel is��
  Hastened away�察�and came unto the place
  Where I was sitting with the ancient Rachel。

;Beatrice; said she�察 �the true praise of God��
  Why succourest thou not him�察�who loved thee so��
  For thee he issued from the vulgar herd��

Dost thou not hear the pity of his plaint��
  Dost thou not see the death that combats him
  Beside that flood
