“THE LAST JUDGMENT”
DANTEWhat should be said of him cannot be said; By too great splendor is his name attended;
To blame is easier than those who him offended,
Than reach the faintest glory round him shed. This man descended to the doomed and dead
For our instruction; then to God ascended; Heaven opened wide to him its portals
splendid, Who from his country's, closed against him,
fled. Ungrateful land! To its own prejudice
Nurse of his fortunes; and this showeth well That the most perfect most of grief shall see.
Among a thousand proofs let one suffice, That as his exile hath no parallel,
Ne'er walked the earth a greater man than he.
