Inferno Canto I:100-111 The salvation of Italy.

100
Many the animals with whom she weds,

101
And more they shall be still, until the Greyhound

102
Comes, who shall make her perish in her pain.

103
He shall not feed on either earth or pelf,

104
But upon wisdom, and on love and virtue;

105
'Twixt Feltro and Feltro shall his nation be;

106
Of that low Italy shall he be the saviour,

107
On whose account the maid Camilla died,

108
Euryalus, Turnus, Nisus, of their wounds;

109
Through every city shall he hunt her down,

110
Until he shall have driven her back to Hell,

111
There from whence envy first did let her loose.
