Bien noté que del cielo era enviado,
y me volví al maestro que hizo un signo
de que estuviera quieto y me inclinase.
¡Cuán lleno de desdén me parecía!
Llegó a la puerta, y con una varita
la abrió sin encontrar impedimento.
«¡Oh, arrojados del cielo, despreciados!
-gritóles él desde el umbral horrible-.
¿Cómo es que aún conserváis esta arrogancia?

When he saw me weeping, he answered: ‘You must go another road, if you wish to escape this savage place. This creature, that distresses you, allows no man to cross her path, but obstructs him, to destroy him, and she has so vicious and perverse a nature, that she never sates her greedy appetite, and after food is hungrier than before.
