   • early 14^th century, Dante, “Canto XXXI”, in Purgatorio, lines 1–6:

     «O tu che se’ di là dal fiume sacro»,
     volgendo suo parlare a me per punta,
     che pur per taglio m’era paruto acro,
     ricominciò, seguendo sanza cunta,
     «dì, dì se questo è vero; a tanta accusa
     tua confession conviene esser congiunta».

     "O thou who art beyond the sacred river," turning to me the point of her discourse, that edgewise even had seemed to me so keen, she recommenced, continuing without pause, "Say, say if this be true; to such a charge, thy own confession needs must be conjoined."
