I soon fell asleep
And dreamed an odd dream of #Antichrist’ s entry
Attired like a man, overturning Truth,
Ruining the crop, ripping up the roots,
Spreading false shoots to satisfy wants
In each country he came to, cutting down Truth
And sowing deceit in its stead like a god.

- ' #PiersPlowman'

History echoes.

"But in gaynesse and in glotonye
For-glutten hir good hemselve,
And breketh noght to the beggere"

[But in gayness and in gluttony themselves gulp down their wealth, breaking no bread for the beggar.]
