The Divine Comedy, Volume 2, Purgatory

To run over better waters the little vessel of my genius now hoists its sails, and leaves behind itself a sea so cruel; and I will sing of that second realm where the human spirit is purified and becomes worthy to ascend to heaven.

现在，我那微小的天赋之舟扬起了帆，离开了那片残酷的海域，我将歌唱那个净化人类灵魂，使其有资格升天的第二个境界。

But here let dead poesy rise again, O holy Muses, since yours I am, and here let Calliope somewhat mount up, accompanying my song with that sound of which the wretched Picae felt the stroke such that they despaired of pardon.

但在这里，让死去的诗歌重新升起，哦，神圣的缪斯们，因为我是你们的，让卡利俄佩在这里稍微升起，用那种声音伴随着我的歌，使得不幸的皮卡感到打击，以至于他们对宽恕感到绝望。
