4320 The Fall of the Beast
Divine Comedy, Inferno, Canto XIX
Of you shepherds the Evangelist took note,
when she who sits upon the waters
was seen by him to play the whore with kings;
she who was born with the seven heads,
and from the ten horns drew her strength,
as long as virtue pleased her husband.
You have made yourselves a god of gold and silver;
and how do you differ from the idolater,
except that he worships one, and you pray to a hundred?
Revelation 17:16 - And the ten horns which you saw on the beast will hate the harlot, will make her desolate and naked, will eat her flesh and burn her with fire.
