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,

Consume yourself from within with your own rage.
The journey to the darkness is not without a cause:
