[Instrumental]

Through me the way to the city of dolent
Through me the way to eternal dole
Through me the way among people lost

Justice incited my sublime Creator;
Created me divine Omnipotence;
The highest Wisdom, and the primal Love;

"Before me there were no created things
Only eterne, and I eternal last
All hope abandon, ye who enter in!"

"These people have not any hope of death"
