Dante's Inferno.

"Per me si va ne la città dolente, per me si va ne l'etterno dolore, per me si va tra la perduta gente. Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore: fecemi la divina potestate, la somma sapienza e 'l primo amore; dinanzi a me non fuor cose create se non etterne, e io etterno duro. Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch' intrate."
