     Di voi pastor s’accorse il Vangelista, ¶ quando colei che siede sopra l’acque ¶ puttaneggiar coi regi a lui fu vista; ¶ quella che con le sette teste nacque, ¶ e da le diece corna ebbe argomento, ¶ fin che virtute al suo marito piacque.

     The Evangelist you Pastors had in mind, when she who sitteth upon many waters to fornicate with kings by him was seen; the same who with the seven heads was born, and power and strength from the ten horns received, so long as virtue to her spouse was pleasing.
