"Giver her as much torture and grief as the glory and luxury she gave herself"
Decadence leads to grief
Indulgence begets retribution,
For all things there is a reckoning
When selfish deeds are rewarded.
Even the kindest hearts
Hide the darkest desires,
Even the purest faith
Wields a sword in the end.
Talk of forgiveness and peace
Is forgotten in the flames,
When the dark tides rise
All is washed away.

this is only half the scripture
" 7Give her as much torture and grief
as the glory and luxury she gave herself.
In her heart she boasts,
'I sit as queen; I am not a widow,
and I will never mourn.' "
