Inferno XXV.
157
Then did he turn upon him his new shoulders,
And said to the other: "I'll have Buoso run, 140
Crawling as I have done, along this road."
In this way I beheld the seventh ballast
Shift and reshift, and here be my excuse
The novelty, if aught my pen transgress.
And notwithstanding that mine eyes might be 145
Somewhat bewildered, and my mind dismayed,
They could not flee away so secretly
But that I plainly saw Puccio Sciancato;
And he it was who sole of three companions,
Which came in the beginning, was not changed; 150
The other was he whom thou, Gaville, weepest.
