parley
in
Dante's Inferno -- translated by Cary
(Auto-generated)
- Here ceas'd the lamentable sound;
And I continu'd thus: "Still would I learn
More from thee, farther parley still entreat.†Canto 1.1-11 - My sapient guide
Made sign that he for secret parley wish'd;
Whereat their angry scorn abating, thus
They spake: "Come thou alone; and let him go
Who hath so hardily enter'd this realm.†Canto 1.1-11 - Till thou returnest, I with him meantime
Will parley, that to us he may vouchsafe
The aid of his strong shoulders.†Canto 1.12-22 * - That lately didst exclaim in Lombard phrase,
Depart thou, I solicit thee no more,'
Though somewhat tardy I perchance arrive
Let it not irk thee here to pause awhile,
And with me parley: lo!†Canto 1.23-34
