2. mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
2. I found myself within a forest dark,
3. che' la diritta via era smarrita.
3. For the straightforward pathway had been lost.
4. Ahi quanto a dir qual era e' cosa dura
4. Ah me! how hard a thing it is to say
5. esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte
5. What was this forest savage, rough, and stern,
6. che nel pensier rinova la paura!
6. Which in the very thought renews the fear.
7. Tant'e' amara che poco e' piu' morte;
7. So bitter is it, death is little more;
8. ma per trattar del ben ch'i' vi trovai,
8. But of the good to treat, which there I found,
9. diro' de l'altre cose ch'i' v'ho scorte.
9. Speak will I of the other things I saw there.
