Text

Per un verde boschetto
seguito l'orma d'un zentil brachetto.

Con voce quasi umana
- Seguita me -, latrando e' par che dica:
ond'io con mente sana
de seguitarlo n'ho preso fatica.
sperando che la plica
me sciolga di quel nodo cos8 stretto.

Translation

I follow through a green grove
the traces of an elegant retriever.

With almost human voice.
"Follow me", its yelp seems to be saying.
So that, with a clear mind.
I've taken pains to go after it.
hoping that it may undo
the tight knot that constrains me.
