Then answered him: “I came not of myself; A Lady from Heaven descended, at whose prayers I aided this one with my company.

그러자 그가 대답했습니다. “나는 스스로 온 것이 아닙니다. 하늘에서 내려온 여인이 기도하여 내가 이 사람을 도와준 것입니다.”

But since it is your will more be unfolded Of our condition, how it truly is, Mine cannot be that this should be denied you.

그러나 우리의 상황이 어떻게 되는지, 그 진실이 무엇인지 더 자세히 알려지기를 바라시는 당신의 뜻이라면, 저는 당신에게 이를 거부할 수 없습니다.

This one has never his last evening seen, But by his folly was so near to it That very little time was there to turn.

이 자는 마지막 밤을 결코 보지 못하였으나 그의 어리석음으로 말미암아 그 끝에 너무 가까워져서 돌이킬 시간이 거의 없었더라.

As I have said, I unto him was sent To rescue him, and other way was none Than this to which I have myself betaken.

내가 말한 바와 같이 나는 그를 구원하기 위해 그에게 보내졌으며, 내가 택한 이 길 외에는 다른 길이 없었습니다.

I’ve shown him all the people of perdition, And now those spirits I intend to show Who purge themselves beneath your guardianship.

내가 그에게 멸망의 모든 백성을 보여주었고, 이제 나는 당신의 보호 아래 스스로를 정화하는 영들을 보여주려 합니다.

How I have brought him would be long to tell you.

내가 그를 어떻게 데려왔는지 너희에게 말하려면 너무 길 것이다.

Virtue descendeth from on high that aids me To lead him to behold you and to hear you.

위로부터 덕이 내려와 나를 도와 그가 당신을 보고 당신의 말씀을 듣도록 인도합니다.

Now may it please you to vouchsafe his coming; He seeketh Liberty, which is so dear, As knoweth he who life for her refuses.

이제 부디 그의 오심을 허락해 주십시오. 그는 자유를 갈망합니다. 자유는 너무나 소중한 것이므로, 자유를 위해 목숨을 바치는 자는 그것을 잘 압니다.
