ire
in
Dante's Inferno -- translated by Cary
(Auto-generated)
- As one who hears
Of some great wrong he hath sustain'd, whereat
Inly he pines; so Phlegyas inly pin'd
In his fierce ire.†Canto 1.1-11ire = anger - With ireful gestures, "Who is this,"
They cried, "that without death first felt, goes through
The regions of the dead?"†Canto 1.1-11 * - If Jove
Weary his workman out, from whom in ire
He snatch'd the lightnings, that at my last day
Transfix'd me, if the rest be weary out
At their black smithy labouring by turns
In Mongibello, while he cries aloud;
"Help, help, good Mulciber!" as erst he cried
In the Phlegraean warfare, and the bolts
Launch he full aim'd at me with all his might,
He never should enjoy a sweet revenge."†Canto 1.12-22ire = anger
