الصفحة 83 - Enter ye in at the strait gate : for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat : because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, that leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it...

Ahi Pisa, vituperio delle genti Del bel paese là, dove il sì suona; Poi che i vicini a te punir son lenti, Muovasi la Capraia e la Gorgona, E faccian siepe ad Arno in su la foce, Sì ch' egli annieghi in te ogni persona.
