and

Until the end of baneful death and life.

With one another; and Assyrians,

Arabians and the quiver-bearing Medes,

And Persians and Sicilians shall rise up,

And Persians and Sicilians shall rise up,

And Lydians, Thracians and Bithynians,

And Lydians, Thracians and Bithynians,

And they who dwell in the land of fair corn

Beside the streams of Nile; and among all

And looking cautiously about him cut

And sailing o'er the sea. Then, faithless Greece,

And during seven and eighty rolling years

And during seven and eighty rolling years

Bring forth for Hellas woe and shall destroy

All Thrace, and toil of Ares on the isles

And coasts and the war-loving Triballi.

And coasts and the war-loving Triballi.

And he shall share that name which shows the sign

Of numbers ten times fifty. And short-lived

And afterwards shall a great-hearted child

And cities he of many mortal men

Shall plunder; and for Europe shall shoot up

The greatest sore. And also terribly

And every land the sun looks down upon,

And he alone shall sail both east and west.

And he alone shall sail both east and west.

Surely and shall thy many children slay.

And then shalt thou send forth thy royal man

Shooting with bow and arrow. And then famine

Shooting with bow and arrow. And then famine

And war shall hold possession of the midst

Of the Cilicians and Assyrians;

And Asia all shall bear an evil yoke,

And many a murder shall the wet earth drink.

And it shall be named from him, fate and death,

And it shall be named from him, fate and death,

The Indians and shall come to Babylon.

And faithless, shall rule each by his own tribe;

And other kings there shall be, twice four men

Of his race, and the same name to them all.

And there shall be a bride of Egypt then

Commanding and a noble city great

And peace shall be deep throughout all the world;

And then there shall come evil to the Jews,

From famine and intolerable plague;

But the new world of black soil and fair corn,

The numbers of two hundred years and three

And thirty. Yet shall offspring perish not

Their wickedness thereafter, and one here

And he himself in turn by his own son,

And ere he shall put forth another shoot

Thereafter of itself; and there shall be

And her name very lovely shall be that

Of the number twenty; and she will demand

Numberless things and gather up all goods

Of gold and silver; but from her own men

And battles and great slaughter of mankind.

And battles and great slaughter of mankind.

But tyrants, and there be of thousands chiefs

And of ten thousands, and the overseers

And of ten thousands, and the overseers

Ill-fated all their days; and of these last

Shall. bury piously, and over him

And hast completed twice three hundred years

And twice ten, from the time when he shall rule

And dreadful Ares of the glittering helm

Those lately wounded; and then to the couch

Shalt thou give, and thou shalt repay all things,

As far as Libya and the dark-skinned men

To the resistless man. And thou shalt be

A furious warrior. And then shalt thou be

Unhappy and among all men unknown;

And thee, the stately, shall the encircling tomb

Wrought curiously, and a great multitude

Shall mourn thee and the dreadful king shall make

And then shall Egypt be the toiling slave

Her trophies; and she shall serve shamefully,

And with the river, the fruit-bearing Nile,

And store of all good things, a nourisher

Booty and spoil, but giving peoples laws;

And formerly delighting in great kings

Of toils and wailings, and didst put a plow

Of toils and wailings, and didst put a plow

Upon their neck and irrigate the fields

Shall utterly destroy and send thee on

To wailing; and thou shalt make recompense

And know at last that God's wrath came to thee.

But I to Python and to Panopeus

Of goodly towers shall go; and then shall all

And when thou shalt come forward to the books

Thou shalt not tremble, and all things to come

And things that were ye shall know from our words;

Driving off frenzy and real voice inspired

And fearful madness, and give charming song.

And fearful madness, and give charming song.

Of sons of Latium; and first of all

And the like earth had downwards borne them all,

And after Pella's townsman, under whom

The whole East and the rich West were cast down,

Whom Babylon dishonored, and stretched out
