THE
FOURTH
COURT
OF
NGU QUAN


O vengeance of God, how much must you
be held in terror by everyone who reads
what was there revealed to my eyes.

Here I saw many troops of naked souls
who all of them did miserably shriek:
and they seemed subjected to different laws.

Prostrate on earth, lay some of them, supine;
others were sitting with their limbs drawn up,
some wandered, ceaselessly walking.
