1 O bloody citie, stuffed throughout with falsehood, with extreme dealing, nor wilbe brought from spoyling.

2 The noyse of the whippe, the noyse of ratling of wheales, the praunsing of horses, and the iumping of charets:

3 The horseman lifting vp both the glistering blade of the sword & also the shining speare, many wounded, many corpses, and no end of carcasses, they shall stumble at dead bodies.

4 Because of the manyfolde fornication of the beautifull harlot, ful of charmes, that selles nations by the meanes of her whordome, and the people through her charminges.
