- Quindi passando la vergine cruda ¶ vide terra, nel mezzo del pantano, ¶ sanza coltura e d’abitanti nuda. ¶ Lì, per fuggire ogne consorzio umano, ¶ ristette con suoi servi a far sue arti, ¶ e visse, e vi lasciò suo corpo vano.
- Passing that way the virgin pitiless land in the middle of the fen descried, untilled and naked of inhabitants; there to escape all human intercourse, she with her servants stayed, her arts to practise, and lived, and left her empty body there.
