Dante writes that he would not hide his own sad lot from others. He did not mind that they would hear his sorrowful speech. The Italian poet states that he was in no way overshadowed by pity. Dante, however, did not have the strength to prevent it from entering his imagination. He believes that his soul finds inspiration in torment.

The Italian poet adds that it has the image of a wicked beauty looking at the cause of her torment. Dante writes that the suffering begins to turn into wailing, and then comes to the lips, which are clenched. He compares himself to an unhappy man who has no power over his own body and walks toward death.

The Italian poet declares that he hears a terrible verdict and, moreover, looks around him for an unconcerned gaze. But Dante sees only murderous stares everywhere, even though he is aware that he is not guilty of anything. He adds that, being struck by the aforementioned gaze, he falls into insensibility.
