For I am come to sweep away the bad,

The men of evil, all will I destroy!

Ye who are poor suffer with hunger keen,

And toil in wretchedness, and suffer too

Full oft imprisonment; yet with it all

Ye have a soul, and for your sufferings

Ye shall be happy in the other world,

But ill the fate of all who do ye wrong!

 

 

When I shall have departed from this world,

Whenever ye have need of anything,

One in the month, and when the moon is full,

Ye shall assemble in some desert place,

Or in a forest all together join

To adore the potent spirit of your Queen,

My mother, great Diana.  She who fain

Would learn all sorcery yet has not won

Its deepest secrets, them my mother will

Teach her, in truth all things as yet unknown.

And ye shall be freed from slavery,

And so ye shall be free in everything;

And as the sign that ye are truly free,

Ye shall be naked in your rites, both men 

And women also; this shall last until

The last of your oppressors shall be dead;

And ye shall make the game of Benevento,

Extinguishing the lights, and after that

Shall hold your supper thus....
