- 1300s–1310s, Dante Alighieri, “Canto XXXI”, in Inferno [Hell], line 56; republished as Giorgio Petrocchi, editor, La Commedia secondo l'antica vulgata [The Commedia according to the ancient vulgate], 2^nd revised edition, Florence: publ. Le Lettere, 1994:

  s'aggiugne al mal volere e a la possa,
  nessun riparo vi può far la gente.
