"And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
And his name that sat on him was Death
and Hell followed him. And power was given
unto them over the fourth part of the earth,
to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death,
and with the beasts of the earth".
And then again "I saw and beheld, a black horse;
And he that sat on him had a scythe; And a crown
was given unto him and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.
And there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black
as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood.
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth,
even as a fig tree castethher untimely figs,
when she is shaken of a mighty wind. And the heaven
departed as a scroll when it is rolled together,
