The wish to hear such baseness is degrading. - Dante Alighieri

should it occur again, as we walk on,
that we find ourselves where others of this crew
fall into such petty wrangling and upbraiding.
The wish to hear such baseness is degrading.

Because the charity of my native place
Constrained me, gathered I the scattered leaves,
And gave them back to him, who now was hoarse.
Then came we to the confine, where disparted
The second round is from the third, and where
A horrible form of Justice is beheld.
Clearly to manifest these novel things,
I say that we arrived upon a plain,
Which from its bed rejecteth every plant;
The dolorous forest is a garland to it
All round about, as the sad moat to that;
There close upon the edge we stayed our feet.

...la quale fue chiamata da molti Beatrice li quali non sapeano che si chiamare.
