The Trojan's arrogance, that all things dared,
When lifeless she beheld Polyxena,
Out of her senses like a dog she barked,
Were ever seen in any one so cruel
Who, biting, in the manner ran along
Seized with its teeth his neck, so that in dragging
Said to me: "That mad sprite is Gianni Schicchi,
Set teeth on thee, let it not weary thee
Of the nefarious Myrrha, who became
By counterfeiting of another's form;
To counterfeit in himself Buoso Donati,
On whom I held mine eye, I turned it back
If he had only had the groin cut off
The limbs with humours, which it ill concocts,
As does the hectic, who because of thirst
And why I know not, in the world of woe,"
I had while living much of what I wished,
Of Cassentin descend down into Arno,
For far more doth their image dry me up
Draweth occasion from the place in which
The currency imprinted with the Baptist,
Of Guido, or Alessandro, or their brother,
Shades that are going round about speak truth;
A hundred years I could advance one inch,
Although the circuit be eleven miles,
They did induce me into coining florins,
That smoke like unto a wet hand in winter,
Into this chasm, and since they have not turned,
The other the false Sinon, Greek of Troy;
At being, peradventure, named so darkly,
And Master Adam smote him in the face,
All motion, for my limbs that heavy are,
Unto the fire, thou hadst it not so ready:
But thou wast not so true a witness there,
