Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
ché la diritta via era smarrita.
When I had journeyed half of our life’s way,
I found myself within a shadowed forest,
for I had lost the path that does not stray.
Op het midden van ons levenspad gekomen
Kwam ik bij zinnen in een donker woud
Want ik had niet de rechte weg genomen
