INFERNO, Canto XXXI, illustration 3

Title: "Rafel mahee amek zabi almit,"

began a bellowed chant from the brute mouth

for which no sweeter psalmody was fit.

And my Guide in his direction: "Babbling fool,

stick to your horn and vent yourself with it

when rage or passion stir your stupid soul."
