Interior detail: the Monk
Corso Garibaldi 116 Milano
O Simon mago, o miseri seguaci
che le cose di dio, che di bontate
deon essere spose, e voi rapaci
per oro e per argento avolterate,
or convien che per voi suoni la tromba,
però che ne la terza bolgia state
O Simon Magus, o miserable followers
that the things of God, that of goodness
ought to be the brides, rapaciously
for silver and for gold adulterate,
Now must for you the judgment trumpet sound,
since you are doomed here in the third fosse
