Inferno 27.22–24
A soul in a flame calling to Virgil
perch’ io sia giunto forse alquanto tardo,
non t’incresca restare a parlar meco;
vedi che non incresce a me, e ardo!
though I have come perhaps somewhat late,
let it not displease you to stay and speak with me;
see that it does not displease me, and I burn!
