"Purgatorio"

The interval between these four contained
A chariot triumphal on two wheels,
Which by a Griffin's neck came drawn along;
And upward he extended both his wings
Between the middle list and three and three,
So that he injured none by cleaving it
So high they rose that they were lost to sight;
His limbs were gold, so far as he was bird,
And white the others with vermillion mingled.
