Each like a corpse within its grave, until
Thine azure sister of the spring shall blow
Her clarion o'er the

O tu che mostri per sì bestial segno
Odio sovra colui che tu ti mangi
Dimmi 'l perchè, diss' io, per tal convegno,

Nel mondo suso ancor io te ne cangi,
Se quella con ch' i' parlo non si secca.
