Pale were the sweet lips I saw, Pale were the lips I kiss'd, and fair the form I floated with, about that melancholy storm.

Here the nine circles Dante did brave For traitorous acts True love was slain Limbo, Lust, Glutton, Greed Anger, Heresy, Violence and Fraud Treacherous acts True loves soul claimed ... he had three faces: one in front blood red; and then another two that, just above the midpoint of each shoulder, joined the first; and at the crown, all three were reattached; the right looked somewhat yellow, somewhat white; the left in its appearance was like those who come from where the Nile, descending, flows. Here the nine circles Dante did brave For traitorous acts True love was slain Limbo, Lust, Glutton, Greed Anger, Heresy, Violence and Fraud Treacherous acts True loves soul claimed
