       And all the land, that whilom here emerged,

       For fear of him made of the sea a veil,

      And came to our hemisphere; and peradventure

       To flee from him, what on this side appears

       Left the place vacant here, and back recoiled."

      A place there is below, from Beelzebub

       As far receding as the tomb extends,

       Which not by sight is known, but by the sound

      Of a small rivulet, that there descendeth

       Through chasm within the stone, which it has gnawed

       With course that winds about and slightly falls.

      The Guide and I into that hidden road

       Now entered, to return to the bright world;

       And without care of having any rest

      We mounted up, he first and I the second,

       Till I beheld through a round aperture
