'Tis not enough from these to have departed��
Let it avail thee�察�if thou understand me。;
Then I uprose�察�showing myself provided
Better with breath than I did feel myself��
And said�此 �Go on�察�for I am strong and bold。;
Upward we took our way along the crag��
Which jagged was�察�and narrow�察�and difficult��
And more precipitous far than that before。
Speaking I went�察�not to appear exhausted��
Whereat a voice from the next moat came forth��
Not well adapted to articulate words。
I know not what it said�察�though o'er the back
I now was of the arch that passes there��
But he seemed moved to anger who was speaking。
I was bent downward�察�but my living eyes
Could not attain the bottom�察�for the dark��
Wherefore I�此 �Master�察�see that thou arrive
At the next round�察�and let us descend the wall��
For as from hence I hear and understand not��
So I look down and nothing I distinguish。;
;Other response�察─�he said�察 �I make thee not��
Except the doing�察�for the modest asking
Ought to be followed by the deed in silence。;
We from the bridge descended at its head��
Where it connects itself with the eighth bank��
And then was manifest to me the Bolgia��
And I beheld therein a terrible throng
Of serpents�察�and of such a monstrous kind��
That the remembrance still congeals my blood
Let Libya boast no longer with her sand��
For if Chelydri�察�Jaculi�察�and Phareae
She breeds�察�with Cenchri and with Amphisbaena��
Neither so many plagues nor so malignant
E'er showed she with all Ethiopia��
Nor with whatever on the Red Sea is��
Among this cruel and most dismal throng
People were running naked and affrighted。
Without the hope of hole or heliotrope。
They had their hands with serpents bound behind them��
These riveted upon their reins the tail
And head�察�and were in front of them entwined。
And lo� �at one who was upon our side
There darted forth a serpent�察�which transfixed him
There where the neck is knotted to the shoulders。
Nor 'O' so quickly e'er�察�nor 'I' was written��
As he took fire�察�and burned�察�and ashes wholly
Behoved it that in falling he became。
And when he on the ground was thus destroyed��
The ashes drew together�察�and of themselves
Into himself they instantly returned。
Even thus by the great sages 'tis confessed
The phoenix dies�察�and then is born again��
When it approaches its five´hundredth year��
On herb or grain it feeds not in its life��
But only on tears of incense and amomum��
And nard and myrrh are its last winding´sheet。
And as he is who falls�察�and knows not how��
By force of demons who to earth down drag him��
Or other oppilation that binds man��
When he arises and around him looks��
Wholly bewildered by the mighty anguish
Which he has suffered�察�and in looking sighs��
Such was that sinner after he had risen。
Justice of God� �O how severe it is��
That blows like these in vengeance poureth down��
The Guide thereafter asked him who he was��
Whence he replied�此 �I rained from Tuscany
A short time since into this cruel gorge。
A bestial life�察�and not a human�察�pleased me��
Even as the mule I was�察�I'm Vanni Fucci��
Beast�察�and Pistoia was my worthy den。;
And I unto the Guide�此 �Tell him to stir not��
And ask what crime has thrust him here below��
For once a man of blood and wrath I saw him。;
And the sinner�察�who had heard�察�dissembled not��
But unto me directed mind and face��
And with a melancholy shame was painted。
Then said�此 �It pains me more that thou hast caught me
Amid this misery where thou seest me��
Than when I from the other life was taken。
What thou demandest I cannot deny��
So low am I put down because I robbed
The sacristy of the fair ornaments��
And falsely once 'twas laid upon another��
But that thou mayst not such a sight enjoy��
If thou shalt e'er be out of the dark places��
Thine ears to my announcement ope and hear��
Pistoia first of Neri groweth meagre��
Then Florence doth renew her men and manners��
Mars draws a vapour up from Val di Magra��
Which is with turbid clouds enveloped round��
And with impetuous and bitter tempest
Over Campo Picen shall be the battle��
When it shall suddenly rend the mist asunder��
So that each Bianco shall thereby be smitten。
And this I've said that it may give thee pain。;
Inferno�此�Canto XXV
At the conclusion of his words�察�the thief
Lifted his hands aloft with both the figs��
Crying�此 �Take that�察�God�察�for at thee I aim them。;
From that time forth the serpents were my friends��
For one entwined itself about his neck
As if it said�此 �I will not thou speak more�察�
And round his arms another�察�and rebound him��
Clinching itself together so in front��
That with them he could not a motion make。
Pistoia�察�ah�察�Pistoia� �why resolve not
To burn thyself to ashes and so perish��
Since in ill´doing thou thy seed excellest��
Through all the sombre circles of this Hell��
Spirit I saw not against God so proud��
Not he who fell at Thebes down from the walls��
He fled away�察�and spake no further word��
And I beheld a Centaur full of rage
Come crying out�此 �Where is�察�where is the scoffer�拭�
I do not think Maremma has so many
Serpents as he had all along his back��
As far as where our countenance begins。
Upon the shoulders�察�just behind the nape��
With wings wide open was a dragon lying��
And he sets fire to all that he encounters。
My Master said�此 �That one is Cacus�察�who
Beneath the rock upon Mount Aventine
Created oftentimes a lake of blood。
He goes not on the same road with his brothers��
By reason of the fraudulent theft he made
Of the great herd�察�which he had near to him��
Whereat his tortuous actions ceased beneath
The mace of Hercules�察�who peradventure
Gave him a hundred�察�and he felt not ten。;
While he was speaking thus�察�he had passed by��
And spirits three had underneath us come��
Of which nor I aware was�察�nor my Leader��
Until what time they shouted�此 �Who are you�拭�
On which account our story made a halt��
And then we were intent on them alone。
I did not know them�察�but it came to pass��
As it is wont to happen by some chance��
That one to name the other was compelled��
Exclaiming�此 �Where can Cianfa have remained�拭�
Whence I�察�so that the Leader might attend��
Upward from chin to nose my finger laid。
If thou art�察�Reader�察�slow now to believe
What I shall say�察�it will no marvel be��
For I who saw it hardly can admit it。
As I was holding raised on them my brows��
Behold� �a serpent with six feet darts forth
In front of one�察�and fastens wholly on him。
With middle feet it bound him round the paunch��
And with the forward ones his arms it seized��
Then thrust its teeth through one cheek and the other��
The hindermost it stretched upon his thighs��
And put its tail through in between the two��
And up behind along the reins outspread it。
Ivy was never fastened by its barbs
Unto a tree so�察�as this horrible reptile
Upon the other's limbs entwined its own。
Then they stuck close�察�as if of heated wax
They had been made�察�and intermixed their colour��
Nor one nor other seemed now what he was��
E'en as proceedeth on before the flame
Upward along the paper a brown colour��
Which is not black as yet�察�and the white dies。
The other two looked on�察�and each of them
Cried out�此 �O me�察�Agnello�察�how thou changest��
Behold�察�thou now art neither two nor one。;
Already the two heads had one become��
When there appeared to us two figures mingled
Into one face�察�wherein the two were lost。
Of the four lists were fashioned the two arms��
The thighs and legs�察�the belly and the chest
Members became that never yet were seen。
Every original aspect there was cancelled��
Two and yet none did the perverted image
Appear�察�and such departed with slow pace。
Even as a lizard�察�under the great scourge
Of days canicular�察�exchanging hedge��
Lightning appeareth if the road it cross��
Thus did appear�察�coming towards the bellies
Of the two others�察�a small fiery serpent��
Livid and black as is a peppercorn。
And in that part whereat is first received
Our aliment�察�it one of them transfixed��
Then downward fell in front of him extended。
The one transfixed looked at it�察�but said naught��
Nay�察�rather with feet motionless he yawned��
Just as if sleep or fever had assailed him。
He at the serpent gazed�察�and it at him��
One through the wound�察�the other through the mouth
Smoked violently�察�and the smoke commingled。
Henceforth be silent Lucan�察�where he mentions
Wretched Sabellus and Nassidius��
And wait to hear what now shall be shot forth。
Be silent Ovid�察�of Cadmus and Arethusa��
For if him to a snake�察�her to fountain��
Converts he fabling�察�that I grudge him not��
Because two natures never front to front
Has he transmuted�察�so that both the forms
To interchange their matter ready were。
Together they responded in such wise��
That to a fork the serpent cleft his tail��
And eke the wounded drew his feet together。
The legs together with the thighs themselves
Adhered so�察�that in little time the juncture
No sign whatever made that was apparent。
He with the cloven tail assumed the figure
The other one was losing�察�and his skin
Became elastic�察�and the other's hard。
I saw the arms draw inward at the armpits��
And both feet of the reptile�察�that were short��
Lengthen as much as those contracted were。
Thereafter the hind feet�察�together twisted��
Became the member that a man conceals��
And of his own the wretch had two created。
While both of them the exhalation veils
With a new colour�察�and engenders hair
On one of them and depilates the other��
The one uprose and down the other fell��
Though turning not away their impious lamps��
Underneath which each one his muzzle changed。
He who was standing drew it tow'rds the temples��
And from excess of matter�察�which came thither��
Issued the ears from out the hollow cheeks��
What did not backward run and was retained
Of that excess made to the face a nose��
And the lips thickened far as was befitting。
He who lay prostrate thrusts his muzzle forward��
And backward draws the ears into his head��
In the same manner as the snail its horns��
And so the tongue�察�which was entire and apt
For speech before�察�is cleft�察�and the bi´forked
In the other closes up�察�and the smoke ceases。
The soul�察�which to a reptile had been changed��
Along the valley hissing takes to flight��
And after him the other speaking sputters。
Then did he turn upon him his new shoulders��
And said to the other�此 �I'll have Buoso run��
Crawling as I have done�察�along this road。;
In this way I beheld the seventh ballast
Shift and reshift�察�and here be my excuse
The novelty�察�if aught my pen transgress。
And notwithstanding that mine eyes might be
Somewhat bewildered�察�and my mind dismayed��
They could not flee away so secretly
But that I plainly saw Puccio Sciancato��
And he it was who sole of three companions��
Which came in the beginning�察�was not changed��
The other was he whom thou�察�Gaville�察�weepest。
