and

And spear impetuous Ares; and by him

And spear impetuous Ares; and by him

All perish, child and the old man who gives

To the assemblies laws; and many wars

And battles there shall be, and homicides,

And battles there shall be, and homicides,

Famines and pestilences, earthquake-shocks

And mighty thunderbolts, and many ways

And mighty thunderbolts, and many ways

And pillaging and robbery of temples.

And pillaging and robbery of temples.

And then an insurrection there shall be

Of the industrious Persians, and with them

Indians, Armenians, and Arabians;

And unto these again a Roman king

Insatiate in war and leading on

Shall draw near, a young Ares, and as far

And straightway coming out of Syria

Terror of Ares, and also his son,

And the one name is unto both of them:

On first and twentieth there are to be placed

And laws shall be enacted, there shall be

The woolly sheep, and cast his oaths aside;

And then shall there be an unlawful strife

Of haughty kings in wars, and Syrians

Shall perish terribly, and Indians

And the Armenians and Arabians,

And the Armenians and Arabians,

The Persians and the Babylonians

Of a high many-ridged and windy rock

Now these things are; and while the name of Rome

And there shall come wrath of the mighty God

On the Assyrians and a mountain stream

To Caesar's city and harm Canaanites.

With temples and with places for the race,

And with broad markets and with splendid wealth,

And with broad markets and with splendid wealth,

And thou who art of all most fond of learning,

Bostra and Philippopolis, that thou may'st come

Into great sorrow; and the laughing spheres

Taurus, and Gemini, and as many stars

Taurus, and Gemini, and as many stars

And now for Alexandrians loving war

Will I sing wars most dreadful; and much people

And fighting for the sake of hateful strife,

And round them horrid Ares, rushing on,

Shall cease from war. And then one of great soul

And after him there shall rule powerfully

And numbering three hundred; he shall have

And many shall be slay, and then the king

And many shall be slay, and then the king

Shall all his brothers and his friends destroy

Even while the kings are cut off, and straightway

Shall there be fights and pillagings and murders

Shall there be fights and pillagings and murders

A robber and a Roman not well known

Shall drive through and, besieging, shall press hard,

Insatiate of war. And then for thee,

Tyana and Mazaka, there shall be

A capture; thou shalt be enslaved and put

And then Selenian goddess shall not guard

And shall pass over the Euphrates' streams,

And close upon him shall his children perish.

And mighty thunderbolts, and dreadful wars,

And mighty thunderbolts, and dreadful wars,

And anarchy in cities suddenly;

And the Syrians shall perish fearfully;

Of the Most High and straightway an uprising

of the industrious Persians, and mixed up

Death beautiful and death shall flee from them.

And now for thee, O wretched Syria,

And he shall burn thee, and dispose all things

And he shall burn thee, and dispose all things

And thee a city they shall never call,

Under the spears; and stripping off all things

And making naked he shall leave thee thus

Coverless, houseless; and when anyone

And thou shalt be, O Hierapolis,

Of Casius shall dwell and by Amanus

How many, and how many Lycus laves,

And Marsyas as many and Pyramus

And Marsyas as many and Pyramus

Make cities naked, and bear idols off

And cast down temples on much-nourishing earth.

And sometime to Gauls and Pannonians,

And sometime to Gauls and Pannonians,

To Mysians and Bithynians there shall be

With city-wasting Ares and the Carpians

And then by his own shameless recklessness

And he himself for his impiety

Shall straightway perish. And again shall rule

And yet again the world shall be confused,

Men perishing by pestilence and war.

And the Persians maddened by the Ausonians

Force their way. And then there shall be a flight

Of Romans; and thereafter there shall come

From Syria appearing and by guile

Shall he accomplish all things. And then too

And round about her shall the Persians dare

Shall have the number seventy, and the other
