     u ktere dolice široko i gluboko je jezerišče tankem i slabem ledom zakrito. Oni pako putniki, ništar za pogibel ne marivši, šetuju k jezerišču da čez nje po ledu prejdu.

     nešto zarad straha, nešto zarad vruče lave dojti ne mogel, zdaleka samo premišljaval je iliti jezerišče ali propast ognjenoga brega.

     in part due to fear, in part due to the hot lava he could not approach, and he only observed or the abyss or the chasm of the fiery mountain.
