    • 1300s–1310s, Dante Alighieri, “Canto VII”, in Inferno [Hell]‎, lines 7–12; 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:
      Poi si rivolse a quella ’nfiata labbia,
      e disse: «Taci, maladetto lupo!
      consuma dentro te con la tua rabbia.
      Non è sanza cagion l'andare al cupo:
      vuolsi ne l’alto, là dove Michele
      fé la vendetta del superbo strupo».
      He then turned to that bloated lip,
      and said. "Quiet, you cursed wolf!
      Consume yourself from within with your own rage.
      The journey to the darkness is not without a cause:
      thus is willed on high, where Michael
      took revenge for the proud violence."
