Thus said the Master
And he turned me round Himself
And trusted not unto my hands so far
As not to blind me with his own
O ye who have undistempered knowledge
Observe the doctrine that conceals itself
Beneath the veil of the mysterious verses
And now there came across the turbid waves
The clangour of a sound with terror fraught
Because of which both of the margins trembled
Not otherwise it was than of a wind
Impetuous on account of adverse heats
That smites the forest and without restraint
Laden with dust it goes superb
Even as the weak before the hostile serpent
Across the water scatter all abroad
More than a thousand ruined souls I saw
They who on foot was passing over the Styx

Whence said I Master now allow to me
That I may know who these are
And what law makes them appear
So ready to pass over
As I discern athwart the dusky light
And he to me
These things shall all be known to thee
As soon as we our footsteps stay
Upon the dismal shore of Acheron
Then with mine eyes ashamed
From speech refrained i till we reached the river
An old man crying woe unto you ye souls depraved
Hope nevermore to look upon the heavens
To the eternal shades in heat and frost
Withdraw thee from these beings
Who are dead

And I again Master
Where shall be found Lethe
For of one thou art silent
And sayest the other of this rain is made
In all thy questions truly thou dost please me
Replied he but the boiling of the red Water
Might well solve one of them
Thou shalt see Lethe but outside this moat
There where the souls repair to lave themselves
When sin repented of has been removed
Then said he it is time now to abandon
The wood take heed that thou come after me
A way the margins make that are not burning

Now will I have thee know the other time
I here descended to the nether Hell
This precipice had not yet fallen down
But truly if I well discern
Before His coming who the mighty spoil
Bore off from Dis in the supernal circle
Upon all sides the deep and loathsome valley
Trembled so
That I thought the Universe
Was thrilled with hate
By which there are who think
The world ofttimes converted into chaos
And at that moment this primeval crag
Both here and elsewhere made such overthrow
But fix thine eyes below for draweth
Near the river of blood
Within which boiling is whoe’er by violence
Doth injure others

Underneath each came forth two mighty wings
Such as befitting were so great a bird
Sails of the sea I never saw so large
No feathers had they but as of a bat
Thereby Cocytus wholly was congealed
With six eyes did he weep
And down three chins trickled the tear drops
And the bloody drivel
At every mouth he with his teeth was crunching
A sinner in the manner of a brake
So that he three of them tormented thus
To him in front the biting was as naught
Unto the clawing
For sometimes the spine utterly stripped of
All the skin remained that soul up there
Which has the greatest pain
The master said is Judas Iscariot!
