and

To men who care for toil and deeds of love.

And earth shall glory in her many fruits

And the foster-fathers, ageless all their days,

Shall from diseases chill and dreadful be

And unto Acheron in the abodes

Of Hades they shall go away, and there

And with whom always he his counsels shared.

In Hades. And then afterward again

In figure, stature, growth; and there shall be

Having a haughty heart and rushing on

Against the starry heaven. And then the stream

With their waves hither and thither rising high--

To cease from wrath, and into other depths

By harbors and rough headlands round the land;

Come, clothed in flesh, to men, and fashioned like

To mortals in the earth; and he doth hear

Four vowels, and two consonants in him

For eight ones, and as many tens on these,

And yet eight hundred will reveal the name

To men insatiate; and do thou discern

And he shall fulfill God's law, not destroy,

Bearing his very image, and all things

And offer gold, and myrrh, and frankincense;

And offer gold, and myrrh, and frankincense;

And offer gold, and myrrh, and frankincense;

Come bearing tidings to men, and to all

Shall call to make straight paths, and from the heart

Cast wickedness out and illuminate

And one of barbarous mind, by dances bound,

And on it shall the Hebrew people stumble;

They also shall know through him, and the way

And then shall he the sickly heal, and all

And then shall he the sickly heal, and all

And then the blind shall see, the lame shall walk,

The deaf shall hearken, and the dumb shall speak.

Demons shall he drive out, and of the dead

From five loaves and a fish out of the sea,

And with the remnants of them, for the hope

And then shall Israel, drunken, not discern,

Shall come upon the Hebrews, and take faith

Shall Israel give him cuffs and spittle drugged.

And gall for food and vinegar unmixed

And gall for food and vinegar unmixed

In bosom and in heart, give impiously,

He shall spread forth and measure out all things,

And bear the crown of thorns, and they shall pierce

And bear the crown of thorns, and they shall pierce

Unto the light, and show his form to men

And teach all things, ascending in the clouds

And in his name shall blossom a new shoot

There shall be wise guides, and then afterward

Much gold and silver utterly destroy.

And afterward shall other royal powers

And they will oppress mortals. But great fall

And from the land the Hebrews shall be driven

Wandering and wasted, and among the wheat

Wandering and wasted, and among the wheat

And the cities suffering outrage shall bewail

Thunders and lightnings, storms, and evil blight,

Thunders and lightnings, storms, and evil blight,

And rage of jackals and of wolves, manslaughter,

And rage of jackals and of wolves, manslaughter,

Destruction of men and of lowing kine,

Four-footed cattle and laborious mules,

And goats and sheep, then shall the ample field

And goats and sheep, then shall the ample field

Be barren from neglect, and fruits shall fail,

And there shall be a selling of their freedom

Among most men, and robbery of temples.

And then shall, after these, appear of men

Shall break the zeal for idols and shall shake

The people of seven-hilled Rome, and riches great

And then shall bloody signs from heaven descend--

Enraged shall kill each other, and in tumult

Shall God send famines, plagues, and thunderbolts

And lack of men shall be in all the world,

And then shall the great God who dwells in heaven

And then shall there be peace and wisdom deep,

And then shall there be peace and wisdom deep,

And the fruit-bearing land shall yield again

Nor yet enslaved. And every harbor then,

And every haven, shall be free to men

As formerly, and shamelessness shall perish.

And then will God show mortals a great sign:

Days not a few; and then will he display

Who wrestle. And then there shall be again

Into the heavenly sky, and it shall be

For all men in the world, and have the fame

Of immortality. And every people

That which is due, and crown the ones approved,

And give his martyrs an immortal prize

And unto chaste men who run their race well

Of the prize give, and to all men allot

That which is due, and also to strange nations

That live a holy life and know one God.

And those who have regard for marriages

And keep themselves far from adulteries,

And 'tis not right men stain it with vile deeds.

With what thou hast and keep thyself from that

And next thy parents. Render all things due,
