Lyrics

[fervent silent prayer]
VIII.104
...mi disse: "Non temer; chè 'l nostro passo
non ci può tòrre alcun: da tal n'è dato.
Ma qui m'attendi, e lo spirito lasso
conforta e ciba di sperenza buona,
ch'i' non ti lascero nel mondo basso."

[...replied: "Forget your fear, no one can hinder
our passage; One so great has granted it.
But you wait here for me, and feed and comfort
your tired spirit with good hope, for I
will not abandon you in this low world."]

Dante Alighieri, Inferno, 1307-08.
