1. And here to us in a boat
An old hoary hair
Screamin '"Woe to the wicked souls
2. no hope of ever seeing the sky

Paraphrase:
1. At one point we had close on a ship, an old man with white beard and shouting "Look out, evil souls,
2. Do not expect ever again to revise the sky: I come to bring you all 'other side (of the river Acheron) in the eternal darkness that is in the ice in the fire ("'N hot' n cold" Dante refers to the various penalties because some damned are plunged into the ice and others were burnt by fire).
3. And you who are here, alive, go away from these dead souls. " But when I saw that I was going
4. said, "For another way, to another river you will come to another beach, you will not be here: You will go to purgatory transported by a lighter boat (for the sins of those who are destined to purgatory, they are transported by boat more light, as a sign of sins less serious).
5. Virgil, then, he said (The word "Duke" comes from the Latin ducs, ducis meaning guide) "Charon, do not get mad. Decided that the one who decides everything (God) and not ask anything more. "
6. The cheeks of a pilot stopped the dark swamp (he stopped talking), and his eyes became red around the eyes as if he had the flames.
7.E Meanwhile, the souls who were waiting for the boat, hearing those words (Woe to the evil souls) grew pale and began to chatter.
8. They blasphemed God and their parents (relatives), the human species and the place and date of their birth and their ancestors.
9. Then they all started toward the ship, crying to the other side (from which there is no turning back) that awaits all who do not fear God (who have made enormous sins)
10 . Charon the demon eyes burning with a wave gathering souls and affects those who linger with his oar.
11. As autumn leaves fall in a next to 'until the other branch does not see any ground
12. So the evil descendants of Adam, one by one climb on the ship as a bird to the call (at the time of Dante in fact, they used live bait to hunt birds. For example, if they trained for a recall another).
