The ninth and final circle Holds the frozen lake Cocytus Jagged spikes of ice protrude Amidst the sleek and glacial climate Many heads sprout from the surface Of the glass-like, frigid lake Each sinner is his own island Fully encased, with no escape The four concentric rings House betrayals of different kinds The outermost of which is Caina The round for betrayals of family ties Its namesake is Cain, first murderer Who slayed his closest kin Those put here allowed to bow their heads Against the freezing wind The next round Antenora Where not one can bend their necks After that comes Ptolomaea Wherein lay traitors to their guests Flat on their backs they lie supine While their very tears freeze in their eyes Crystalized, they are denied even the small release Of being allowed to cry But none are more removed from pity Than in the final ring, Judecca Those most heinous souls infamous for Slaying their lords and benefactors Total silence, all bodies twisted Fully suspended in the ice And in its very center lies Our dark prince, the Father of lies Gigantic, wild and bestial In the lake he lays waste deep Six eyes, six wings, three heads And in each mouth, twixt gnashing teeth Brutus, Cassius, Judas Forever chewed by Satan's maw Full of hate, his beating wings Ensuring that nothing will thaw He weeps from all six eyes Tears mixing with bloody froth Stricken dumb and impotent For pride he pays the highest cost
