The Inferno [English translation]

Into the bottom

of this sad shell

No one descends from

The first circle,

Which only hope

cuts off its pain?

...Observe the doctrine

that conceals itself

Beneath the veil of

the mysterious verses

Into the bottom

of this sad shell

No one descends from

The first circle,

Which only hope

cuts off its pain?

...Observe the doctrine

that conceals itself

Beneath the veil of

the mysterious verses

...Observe the doctrine

that conceals itself

Beneath the veil of

the mysterious verses

That is the lowest

and darkest region,

And the farthest from heaven

Which circles all.

Therefore, be reassured,

I know the way.

...Observe the doctrine

that conceals itself

Beneath the veil of

the mysterious verses

...Observe the doctrine

that conceals itself

Beneath the veil of

the mysterious verses
