Incipit liber scribae Jacobi Superopedis, viri eruditissimi: 1. And in my vision I did progress into a land of aspect dark and drear, most like unto the land itself. 2. Whereiii was no habitation, nor any habitant thereof 3 3. But the land was desolate, even unto the uttermost confines. 4. And there I met, or meseemeth I met, a guide of aspect dark and drear, most like unto the land itself. ff. And he spake a word unto me, saying, 6. 'Beholdl I am he who openeth the secrets of the earth, and the bowels of the earth, even unto the most unworthy of scribesl' 7. And I trembled, for I was sore afraid. 8. And a chasm opened in the earth, and through it were we precipi- tated, I and my guide -also, 9. And we journeyed through the land which was in the bowels of the earth until we came to the first place of tribulation, wherein I saw all such as were of little Latinity, and behold! my own face was there, even amongst the foremost. 10. And I wept, for I was sore afraid. 11. And we journeyed thereafter to the second place of tribulation, wherein were all such as sniffed and wore carpetfslippers, and therein I was not, but another was, who avowed himself to be no beautyfspot, therefore I should no longer feast my eyes upon his countenance. 12. And great was the fall thereof. 13. Thereafter, rejoicing, we Lvent upon our way, and lo! we came upon yet a third place of woe and lamentation wherein were all such as wrote the names of the children of the faithful in deten- tion books. 14. And their name was legion. 15. And these were condemned to pump from wells to all eternity water, wherewith they were constrained to fill jugs whereof the sides were cracked, 16. And ever as they poured the water in, so it poured out, even unto the eternity of eternities. 17. And my bowels yearned unto them, and I pitied them, for indeed their torment was unceasing, and did from age to age endure. 18. And to yet another place of tribulation did we go, wherein was one who did roar and wail, crying unto those who tormented him, 'Are YOU arguing with ME!' And the ten thousand thundering tin devils did roar and cry, shrieking, 'We arel' 19. Then spake my guide unto me, and oped his lips, saying, 'Go then ' and do not likewise' 20. And in bitter grief and wailing did I go, and on the morrow I awoke in fear and trembling, for, Qas I think I have said several times already,j I was sore afraid.
