And I saw, and behold a white horse:
and he that sat on him had a bow;
and a crown was given unto him:
and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

And there went out another horse that was red:
and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace
from the earth, and that they should kill one another:
and there was given unto him a great sword.

And I beheld, and saw a black horse;
and he that sat on him had a pair of scales in his hand.
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say,
A measure of wheat for a penny,
and three measures of barley for a penny;
and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

And I looked, and behold a pale horse:
and his name that sat on him was Death,
and Hell followed with him.
