Purgatorio III.

Thirty times told the time that he has been
In his presumption, unless such decree 140
Shorter by means of righteous prayers become.
See now if thou hast power to make me happy,
By making known unto my good Costanza
How thou hast seen me, and this ban beside,
For those on earth can much advance us here." 145
