and

And day, and sun, and stars, and moon, and seas

And day, and sun, and stars, and moon, and seas

With fish, and land, and rivers, and the month

With fish, and land, and rivers, and the month

With fish, and land, and rivers, and the month

And rains at once producing fruit of field

And tree and vine and oil. This God a whip

And tree and vine and oil. This God a whip

And tree and vine and oil. This God a whip

And how much shall befall them yet again

Offering him praise before they drink and eat;

Temples and altars, figures of dumb stones,

[Stone images and statues made with hands]

And sacrifices of four-footed beasts,

They will reject them all; and they will look

To the great glory of one God and not

Have they, nor vile and hateful lust of males.

Their manner, piety, and character

With jest and joke like babes in senselessness,

Blameful and wicked as they do themselves.

And mortals comes which God himself shall bring

Judging at once the impious and the pious,

To lower darkness [and then they shall know

God giving to them breath and life and grace.

God giving to them breath and life and grace.

Shall come to pass; and now what things shall be

And for six generations hold the power

Being wroth against the cities and all men

And from the heaven the stars and circling moon

And from the heaven the stars and circling moon

Shall disappear; and earth in tumult shaken

And works of men headlong; and from the deep

And works of men headlong; and from the deep

Between the Medes and Persians dreadful strife

In battle; and the, Medes shall fall and fly

In battle; and the, Medes shall fall and fly

Of Tigris. And the Persian power shall be

Greatest in all the world, and they shall have

And there shall be as many evil deeds

And murders, and disputes, and banishments,

And murders, and disputes, and banishments,

And murders, and disputes, and banishments,

And overthrow of towers and waste of cities,

And overthrow of towers and waste of cities,

Over broad Hellespont, and shall convey

To Phrygia sorrow and to Asia doom.

And unto Egypt, land of many furrows,

Shall sorry famine come, and barrenness

And there shall come from Asia a great king

And he shall walk the wet paths of the deep,

And shall sail after he has cut the mount

And Sicily the wretched shall a stream

Her flame disgorges; and in the deep chasm

And strife shall be in Hellas; they shall rage

And fighting make an end of many men;

And terror be. But when the Macedonians

An evil conquest from behind, and Carians

Shall dwell in Tyre, and Tyrians be destroyed.

And Babylon, great to see but small to fight,

But those from Susa and from Bactria

And Cibyra shall fall and Cyzicus,

And Cibyra shall fall and Cyzicus,

And sand shall hide all Samos under banks.

And Delos visible no more, but things

And to Rhodes shall come evil last, but greatest.

A servile yoke and the Italians serve.

And thou, O wretched Corinth, thou shalt look

Sometime upon thy conquest. And thy tower,

With thunders and earthquakes shall stop the din

A slavish fate; and there shall also come

From Italy, and God's great temple spoil.

Their piety and murders consummate

Of matricide, and many other things,

And many for the throne with blood

And out of Syria shall come Rome's foremost man,

And having slaughtered many of the Jews,

And then too shall an earthquake overthrow

Both Salamis and Paphos, when dark water

And many cities burn and men destroy,

And many cities burn and men destroy,

And much black ashes shall fill the great sky,

And small drops like red earth shall fall from heaven,

The nation of the pious. And then strife

And then on Scyros shall a pestilence

And dreadful battle-din destruction bring.

And into Asia there shall come great wealth,

In her luxurious homes; and twice as much

And more shall she to Asia render back,

And then there shall be an excess of war.

And Carian cities by Maeander's waters,

Girded with towers and very beautiful,

And faith and right be hidden in the world,

And faith and right be hidden in the world,

. . . Fickle . . . and in unhallowed boldness

And reckless evil deeds, and of the pious

And reckless evil deeds, and of the pious

Exulting and in blood holding their bands;

But gnashing with fury and destroying all

Put giving up your swords and pointed knives,

And homicides and wanton violence,
