I saw an ugly beast come from the sea,
That seven heads, ten crounes, ten hornes did beare,
Having theron the vile blaspheming name.
The cruell Leopard she resembled much:
Feete of a beare, a Lions throte she had.
The mightie Dragon gave to hir his power.
One of hir heads yet there I did espie,
Still freshly bleeding of a grievous woande.
One cride aloude. What one is like (quod he)
This honoured Dragon, or may him withstande?
And then came from the sea a savage beast,
With Dragons speche, and shewde his force by fire,
With wondrous signes to make all wights adore
The beast, in setting of hir image up,

I saw a Woman sitting on a beast
Before mine eyes, of Orenge colour hew:
Horrour and dreadfull name of blasphemie
Filde hir with pride. And seven heads I saw,
The wine of hooredome in a cup she bare.
She seemde with glorie of the scarlet faire,
Ten hornes also the stately beast did beare.
And with fine perle and golde puft up in heart.
The name of Mysterie writ in hir face;
The bloud of Martyrs dere were hir delite,
Most fierce and fell this woman seemde to me.
An Angell then descending downe from Heaven,
With thondring voice cride out aloude, and sayd,
Now for a truth great Babylon is fallen.

The faithfull man with flaming countenaunce,
Then might I see upon a white horse set
His head did shine with crounes set therupon.
The worde of God made him a noble name.
His precious robe I saw embrued with bloud.
Then saw I from the heaven on horses white,
A puissant armie come the selfe same way.
That birdes from aire descending downe on earth
Then cried a shining Angell as me thought,
Should warre upon the kings, and eate their flesh.
Then did I see the beast and Kings also
Joinyng their force to slea the faithfull man.
But this fierce hatefull beast and all hir traine
Is pitilesse throwne downe in pit of fire.

I saw new Earth, new Heaven, sayde Saint John.
And loe, the sea (quod he) is now no more.
The holy Citie of the Lorde, from hye
Of God and men.
Descendeth garnisht as a loved spouse.
A voice then sayde, beholde the bright abode
And all their teares he shall wipe cleane away.
For he shall be their God,
Hir brightnesse greater was than can be founde,
Square was this Citie, and twelve gates it had.
Eche gate was of an orient perfect pearle,
Ranne through the mid, sprong from triumphant
The houses golde, the pavement precious stone.
A lively streame, more cleere than Christall is,

seat.

There growes lifes fruite unto the Churches good.
