Inferno (Italian)

...ttar del ben ch'i' vi trovai,

dir? de l'altre cose ch'i' v'ho scorte.

Purgatorio (Italian)

...l'ombra era da me a la grotta,
 restaro, e trasser sé in dietro alquanto,
e tutti li altri che venieno appresso,
non sappiendo 'l perché, fenno altrettanto.
 «Sanza vostra domanda io vi confesso
che questo è corpo uman che voi vedete;
per che 'l lume del sole in terra è fesso.
 Non vi maravigliate, ma credete
che non sanza virtù che da ciel vegna
cerchi di soverchiar questa parete».
 Così 'l maestro; e quella gente degna
