E io ch’avea d’error la testa cinta,
dissi: «Maestro, che è quel ch’i’ odo?
e che gent’ è che par nel duol sì vinta?


Ed elli a me: «Questo misero modo
tegnon l’anime triste di coloro
che visser sanza ’nfamia e sanza lodo.


Mischiate sono a quel cattivo coro
de li angeli che non furon ribelli

né fur fedeli a Dio, ma per sé fuoro.


Caccianli i ciel per non esser men belli,

né lo profondo inferno li riceve,


ch’alcuna gloria i rei avrebber d’elli».

(Inferno 3.31-39)
