El buen Maestro dijo: Hijo ahora mira las almas de aquellos a quienes venció la ira: y quiero que por cierto creas, que bajo el agua hay gente que suspira, y borbotean esta agua que está arriba, como el ojo te dice, a donde gire. Inmersos en el limo dicen: Tristes fuimos, bajo el aire dulce que del Sol se alegra, llevando adentro un amargado humo: Ahora nos apenamos en este negro cieno. Este himno barbotaban en el garguero porque hablar no pueden con palabra entera.
