¶ A doleful song or mourning, and lamentation of Rome, which the Princes and Marchaunts make for her. The .lxxix. Sermon.
AND the Kings of the earth shall be weep her, and wail over her, which have committed fornication, and lived wantonly with her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, and shall stand a far of, for fear of her punishment, saying: alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city: for at one hour is thy judgement come. And the merchants of the Earth shall weep and wail in themselves, because no man will by their ware any more, the ware of gold, and silver, and of precious stone, of pearl, and silk, and purple, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of Ivory: and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and of Iron, and Cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, & wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and cattle, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and bodies & souls of men. And the Apples that thy soul lusted after, are departed from thee. And all things which were dainty, and had in price, are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more. The Merchants of these ⟨p. 548⟩things, which were waxed rich by her, shall stand a far of for fear of the punishment of her, weeping, and wailing, and saying: alas, alas, that great City, that was clothed in silk and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stone, and pearls: for at one hour so great riches is come to naught. And every ship governor, and all they that occupy ships, and shipmen which work in in the sea, stood a far of and cried, when they saw the smoke of her burning, and said: what city is like unto this great city? And they caste dust on their heads, and cried weeping, and wailing, and said: Alas, alas, the great City, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the Sea, by the reason of her wares: for at one hour is she made desolate.
