        iv. Judecca (lords and benefactors)

1-3     Virgil's Latin beginning
4-7     simile: mill seen through fog or twilight
8-9     Dante retreats behind Virgil to escape the wind
10-15   the souls here are completely covered by ice
16-21   Virgil announces Satan and encourages Dante
22-27   the seventh address to the reader in Inferno
28-36   Lucifer: his size, his ugliness
37-45   his three-faced head: white-yellow: Cassius; red:
        Judas; black: Brutus
46-52   his six wings, congealing Cocytus
53-54   tears from his six eyes mix with blood at his chins
55-60   each of his three jaws chews a sinner; with his 
        talons he flays the one in the center 
61-67   Virgil identifies Judas, Brutus, and Cassius
68-69   Virgil: it is time to depart, we have seen it all

        the ascent

70-81   Dante attaches himself to Virgil; they turn around
82-84   Virgil's encouragement: 'hold fast'
85-93   arrival at a ledge; Dante sees Lucifer's legs above
94-96   Virgil: it is already 7:30 am Saturday
97-105  Dante's three questions: (1) where's the ice? (2)         why is Lucifer upside down? (3) how is it already         morning?
106-126 Virgil's responses: (1) behind us; (3) because of
        where we are; (2) Lucifer's fall
127-132 a watercourse leads them gently upward
133-139 they return to earth, under heaven.
