Original text and translations

Italian text All’apparir che fece all’improviso de l’acqua l’ombra, ogni pelo arricciossi, e scolorossi al Saracino il viso; la voce, ch’era per uscir, fermossi. Udendo poi da l’Argalia, ch’ucciso quivi avea già (che l’Argalia nomossi), la rotta fede così improverarse, di scorno e d’ira dentro e di fuor arse.

English translation Bristled the paynim's every hair at view Of that grim shade, uprising from the tide, And vanished was his fresh and healthful hue, While on his lips the half-formed accents died. Next hearing Argalia, whom he slew, (So was the warrior hight) that stream beside, Thus his unknightly breach of promise blame, He burned all over, flushed with rage and shame. Translation by William Stewart Rose
