and

Be water, and then Crete shall be a plain.

And Cyprus shall endure great misery

And Paphos shall bewail a dreadful fate,

And now the dry land shall be fruitless sand

Upon the shore. And locusts not a few

And races of Pamphylians shall encamp

In Egypt, and in Macedonia

And in Asia and among the Libyans

And in Asia and among the Libyans

And rulers of the West shall make to cease.

While frozen are great river and vast lakes,

Into the Asian land and shall destroy

And then shall mortals feeding lawlessly

And shall gulp down the entrails. And wild beasts

And shall gulp down the entrails. And wild beasts

And they and birds all mortals shall devour.

And they and birds all mortals shall devour.

From the river and be red with flesh and blood

From the river and be red with flesh and blood

May be seen and the measure of the women,

And the dire race shall wail for myriad things

Of many mortals. And a moonless night

And no small mist shall hide the world's ravines

Of Acheron, and no longer shall remain

And also thou, Sarapis, who art placed

And who praised God, shall know thee to be naught.

And sometime shall a linen-vested man,

That they were unto gods of stone and clay

Making processions and religions rites.

And then shall there a great pure temple be

In Egypt, and the people made by God

And to them God shall give life incorrupt.

And God shall rain down on the earth dire wrath

And all without sense perish. And no more

And all without sense perish. And no more

Among the stars, and in the lightning flash

With battle; and God gave them up to light.

Began the fight; and the Moon's double horn

And Taurus took away from Capricorn

And from the Sun's flame Sirius slipped away;

And the strength of the mighty Shining One

And being incensed he hurled them down on earth.

And the high heaven remained without a star.

And a pure flower shall bloom, and springs be full.

And a pure flower shall bloom, and springs be full.

And he shall show the ways to men, and show

And he shall show the ways to men, and show

The heavenly paths, and teach all with wise

And he shall come for judgement and persuade

And he shall come for judgement and persuade

And many sufferings shall he drive away;

And from one scrip shall be men's fill of bread,

And in his hand the whole world, earth, heaven, sea.

And he shall flash upon the earth, as once

Didst crown him with a crown, and fearful gall

Didst mingle unto insolence and spirit.

Thee will I mourn; and thou shalt be the first

Of cities, and first shalt thou be destroyed,

Not wholly destitute. And thou shalt sail,

Delos, and be unstable on the water;

Nor heed God's terrible and foreign water.

Earth shall float, hills float, and even sky shall float,

Everything shall be water and all things

Shall be destroyed by waters. And the winds

Shall stand still and a second age shall be.

Of the water; and first in impiety

Destroy; and thence men unexpectedly

And over thee shall dash a wave of Lycus.

An axle in the midst, and place for men

There shall at some time be, and then shall men

Of fruitless sorrows. And through David's house

Gave him the power and put it in his hand;

And some shall kindle fires, and some shall make

And some shall kindle fires, and some shall make

Rivers appear, and some shall rescue towns,

And some shall send forth winds. But furthermore

Entering their souls and changing human hearts.

And it shall with the times be full. But when

The ruin of his mother; and with sire

Shall daughter lie down and shall put to sleep

And they shall mix much land with human blood.

And it shall be, when evil and ill-starred

And it shall be, when evil and ill-starred

By kettle-drums and cymbals boisterous sound.

Shall see thee, nor thy ashes, and alone

By swiftly flowing rivers and by swords.

And thou, O wretched Corinth, shalt receive

And ye shall perish one upon another.

--And the Spirit spread his wings in flight towards him--

Who before both the earth and starry heaven

And by the Holy Spirit donning flesh

And for him three towers did the mighty heaven

Hope, piety, and reverence much-desired,

Both sacrifices and most righteous thoughts.

And thou shalt sacrifice to the immortal

And mighty God august, not melting grains

And fixing eyes on heaven send them away;

And thou shalt sprinkle water on pure fire

With water and pray thrice; and to thy God

With water and pray thrice; and to thy God
