    • 1316–c. 1321, Dante Alighieri, “Canto II”, in Paradiso [Heaven]‎, lines 10–15; republished as Giorgio Petrocchi, editor, La Commedia secondo l'antica vulgata [The Commedia according to the ancient vulgate]‎, 2nd revised edition, Florence: publ. Le Lettere, 1994:
      Voialtri pochi che drizzaste il collo
      per tempo al pan de li angeli, del quale
      vivesi qui ma non sen vien satollo,
      metter potete ben per l’alto sale
      vostro navigio, servando mio solco
      dinanzi a l’acqua che ritorna equale.
      You few, who raised your heads early to the bread of angels—on which one lives, here, but of which never grows sated—you can well put your ship in the open sea, saving my wake in front of the water that returns level.
