E io ch’avea d’error la testa cinta, dissi: «Maestro, che è quel ch’i’ odo? e che gent’ è che par nel duol sì vinta? Ed elli a me: «Questo misero modo tegnon l’anime triste di coloro che visser sanza ’nfamia e sanza lodo. Mischiate sono a quel cattivo coro de li angeli che non furon ribelli né fur fedeli a Dio, ma per sé fuoro. Caccianli i ciel per non esser men belli, né lo profondo inferno li riceve, ch’alcuna gloria i rei avrebber d’elli».
