Canto 10


Canto 10

Dante's never-subsiding
hell of folks are dead
not dying.

To wit, what so many dread
has happened al-
ready.

Worse yet, folks in hell
repeatedly suffer
devilish ills

plus their torture
won't end
even if they offer

now to repent.
No, they’ve waited too long
to mend

or sing for pardon.
