The Fall of Babylon
The great harlot, Rome, called
Babylon boasted about herself.
Full of pride she said, I shall
Never have occasion to mourn.
Now she is to receive double
Punishment for all her evil.
Very quickly plagues, famine,
Mourning, and death will come.
Her allies suffer also. The kings
Of the earth who had entered into
Spiritual fornication mourn her loss.
The merchants also lament.
The burning of Rome under Nero
Was a small matter compared to
God’s wrath against the Empire
And all allies for doom comes soon.
The curtains fall on the second
Triumph of the pageant. It is a
Desolate scene but one of joy
For Christians seeing God’s rescue.
