Purgatorio 16.82–84

Marco Lombardo to Dante in the smoke

Però, se ’l mondo presente disvia,

in voi è la cagione, in voi si cheggia;

e io te ne sarò or vera spia.

Therefore, if the present world goes astray,

in you is the cause; in you let it be sought;

and I will now be its true reporter for you.
