Original text and translations

Italian text Signor, nell'altro canto io vi dicea che'l forsennato e furioso Orlando trattesi l'arme e sparse al campo avea, squarciati i panni, via gittato il brando, svelte le piante, e risonar facea i cavi sassi e l'alte selve; quando alcun' pastori al suon trasse in quel lato lor stella, o qualche lor grave peccato.

English translation In the previous canto, I have told you How the frenzied, insensate Orlando Tore off his armour, and its pieces threw About the woods, and shed his sword also, Uprooting trees, while echoes rose anew From forest heights, and stony caves below, Till their past sins, or fateful planets, drove Nearby shepherds to that noise in the grove.
