Poem
Whoever might with just free words beside Speak of the blood and in full too of sores Which I saw now, with a narration wide? Any speech will sure fail to open doors To our sermon and for the mind indeed Which offer to such grasp so little score. If one anew all guys gathered could lead Which yet before, in the so lucky land Of Puglia, with painfulness had to bleed For Trojans and for the war long and grand Which of golden rings made then so large spoils As Livy reported, where truths withstand, With people who suffered mournful recoils To contrast Robert Guiscardo’s the rush; And others whose strayed bones ground by now coils At Ceperan, there where lied with no blush Each Apulian, and from Tagliacozzo field Where the old Alard won without arms crush; And any injured limb or broken yield Each should show, it could just not equal at all Like the dirty way the ninth circle revealed. I saw, a leaking butt from center wall, As I saw one, but not broken this way, Cut from chin down unto where farts sprawl. Between his legs the giblets hang and sway; His heart visible and the wretched sack Which shit produces from eaten food away. While I stare and to watch him me attack, He looked me opening with hands his chest, Telling: “You now see how I just unpack! Look how Mahomet is crippled and stressed! In front of me is Ali crying much, His face is cut from chin to hair crest. And all the others you see and touch, Of scandal and schism just wicked sowers Were while living, so this way are cut such. A devil here them hacks and lowers So cruelly, using cut of sword blade Hitting all of this kind people goers, When we have turned in the mournful road strayed; Because the weapons are all sealed again Before some else in front of them is laid. But who are you on crag who muse and crane, Maybe to delay now your pain to reach Judged on your accusations not in vain?”. “Neither death came yet, nor fault or impeach”, Answered my master, “to this plague brings him, But him experience full to give and teach, I, who am dead, must give my aid brim Here in hell circle by circle down; And it is true as I am on this rim”. More than hundred were, hearing him around, That stopped their walking in the bank to see With wonder me, forgetting their pain crown. “Now tell friar Dolcino stocked to be, You who perhaps will see sun quite in short, If he does not want early follow me, So much of food, that snow duress comport The unwanted Novarese win to achieve, Which else wouldn't be simple and would abort”. Since one of his feet just moved up to leave, Mahomet told me this word to advice; Then going away to ground could it cleave. Another, with his throat holed in its splice And nose cut until cilia under, And had yet one hear only for device, Who stayed aside while watching with wonder With others, as first he opened his cane, Which was outside red in all remainder, And told: “O you who have no fault or stain And whom I saw just in his Latin land, If resemblance does not lie me again, Recall then Pier da Medicina's stand, If ever you back see the sweetest plain Which from Vercelli to Marcabò is spanned. And let know then to the two best of Fane, To mister Guido and Angiolello too, That, if foreseeing here is not just vain, They will be out thrown from their ship for true And nearby Cattolica then will die By treason to an awry tyrant due. Cyprus’ and Majorca’s islands between by Never Neptune such a great fault saw, Not by pirates, nor by Argolic guy. That traitor who sees with one eye as flaw, And holds the land which some with me here Would like not to see at all with no haw, Will call them to come for a parley bear; Then will act so, that to Focara’s wind With any pray or vote they will then steer”. continues part 2
