Then might I see upon a white horse set The faithful man with flaming countenance, His head did shine with crowns set thereupon. The word of God made him a noble name. His precious robe I saw embrewed with blood. Then saw I from the heaven on horses white, A puissant army come the self-same way. Then cried a shining angel as me thought, That birds from air descending down on earth, Should war upon the kings, and eat their flesh. Then did I see the beast and kings also Joining their force to slay the faithful man. But this fierce hateful beast and all her train, Is pitiless thrown down in pit of fire. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...FETES GALANTES: PANYOMIME by PAUL VERLAINE SONNET: 86 by WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE IN STATE by BYRON FORCEYTHE WILLSON THE COSMIC TRAIL by EDWIN M.
