- «O tu ch’onori scïenzïa e arte, ¶ questi chi son, c’hanno cotanta onranza, ¶ che dal modo de li altri li diparte?» ¶ E quelli a me: «L’onrata nominanza ¶ che di lor suona sù ne la tua vita, ¶ grazïa acquista in ciel che sì li avanza».
- "O thou who honorest every art and science, who may these be, which such great honor have, that from the fashion of the rest it parts them?" And he to me: "The honorable name, that sounds of them above there in thy life, wins grace in Heaven, that so advances them."
