   • 1321, Dante Alighieri, La divina commedia: Inferno [The Divine Comedy: Hell] (paperback), 12th edition, Le Monnier, published 1994, Canto, lines –:

     Già era in loco onde s’udia ’l rimbombo ¶ de l’acqua che cadea ne l’altro giro, ¶ simile a quel che l’arnie fanno rombo, ¶ quando tre ombre insieme si partiro, ¶ correndo, d’una torma che passava ¶ sotto la pioggia de l’aspro martiro. ¶ Venian ver’ noi, e ciascuna gridava: ¶ «Sòstati tu ch’a l’abito ne sembri ¶ essere alcun di nostra terra prava».

     Now was I where was heard the reverberation of water falling into the next round, like to that humming which the beehives make, when shadows three together started forth, running, from out a company that passed beneath the rain of the sharp martyrdom. Towards us came they, and each one cried out: "Stop, thou; for by thy garb to us thou seemest to be some one of our depraved city."
