On a tangential note, let us hope Judas is an oral-digital S&M buff:
"Within each mouth - he [Lucifer] used it like a grinder -
with gnashing teeth he tore to bits a sinner,
so that he brought much pain to three at once.
The forward sinner found that biting nothing
when matched against the clawing, for at times
his back was stripped completely of its hide.
'That soul up there who has to suffer most,'
my master said: 'Judas Iscariot -
his head inside, he jerks his legs without.'"
