shall

Ever-famed, noblest scion, and shall leave

Wailings and toils and groans; but there shall be

And there shall be an aged mortal then,

And in his eyes the light shall fade away;

Shall he have and be blended with two names,

Shall call himself a Chian and shall write

Shall call himself a Chian and shall write

False-writing every way. And it shall be

Shall also works of recompense receive.

Also to Lycia shall a Locrian race

Shall an AEtolian youth sometime despoil.

Shall break off. And, Byzantium of Ares,

Of opened rock shall babbling water flow,

Until even Patara's oracles shall cease.

Shall crash the crested billow. And thou, Rhodes,

And great shall be thy happiness hereafter,

And on the sea thy power shall be supreme.

A Lydian earthquake shall again despoil

Shall the people of Europe and Asia suffer pain.

Dreadful shall work a mournful overthrow

Shall slain men's dark blood babble to the sea;

Shall their outrageous insolence lament,

With one accord shall Hades bold in charge.

Shall be dissolved by earthquake; and the land

Shall burst out with hot water; and the earth

Shall swallow down those who are by the fire

And Samos shall in time build royal houses.

Shall come, but lamentable tribal blood

Shall make thee, impudent one, desolate.

But when from Italy shall come a man,

Thracian Crobyzi shall rise up on Haemus.

Shall by great storms of winter and the strokes

A royal race shall be formed. Truly now

Not for a long time shall Chalcedon be.

And there shall be a very bitter grief

Shall there a last but greatest evil come.

Shalt boast o'er all, but flute shall sound like strain.

Not one of you shall in the common light

Nor of life shall there any longer be

Shall God send on them burning from the ground.

Woe, woe to thee, O Crete! To thee shall come

Shall the Eternal sack thee; and again

Shall every land behold thee black with smoke,

Fire ne'er shall leave thee, but thou shalt be burned.

Rush on to ravage Hellas, thine shall be

How many evils fate, shall bring on thee!

Of a strange tongue shall fall. How now may I

Which dwell on earth the Highest shall send dire plague.

Against the Greeks it shall slay many heads

Of chosen men; and they shall tear in pieces

And well-made houses shall they burn with fire

Shall they by force lead many slaves away,

With delicate feet; and they shall be bound fast

There shall not be one to supply the toil

And they shall see their goods and all their wealth

Enrich the enemy; and there shall be

A trembling of the knees. And there shall fly

A hundred, and one shall destroy them all;

And five shall rout a mighty company;

Shall by war and dire tumult bring delight

And then upon all Hellas there shall be

Together shall upon all mortals come.

Shall mortals all lament the barrenness

Shall he set, who created heaven and earth,

The third part only shall thereafter be.

Shall come upon you, then ye'll recognize

Their hands to the broad heaven, shall begin

What troubles in the rolling years shall come.

And fear and pestilence shall flee away

But until that time there shall be a race

Shall reach its end. For offering to God

Which God alone shall purpose not in vain

To be all fulfilled; and strong force shall urge.

And there shall be again a holy race

And mind of the Most High, shall honor much

Blest shall they dwell in cities and rich fields.

And prophets shall be set on high for them

The seventh of Egypt, shall rule his own land,

Which countless Macedonian men shall rule;

And there shall come from Asia a great king,

Shall cover all the land, cut up all things,

And then shall they before, the mighty God,

Made with hands shall fall by a flame of fire.

Their genuine fruit to men shall offer--wine,

When on all mortals there shall come the height

Of pestilence and conquered they shall meet

A fearful judgment, and king shall seize king

Because of gold and silver they shall come--

And they shall all be without burial,

And vultures and wild beasts of earth shall spoil

Vast earth shall waste the relics of the dead.

And all unsown shall it be and unplowed,

Nor shall the forest wood be cut for fire.

And then shall God send from the East a king,

Who shall make all earth cease from evil war,

Shall be weighed down; and the full-bearing earth

And the sea shall be filled full of good things.

And kings against each other shall begin

Shall rush in masses, bringing on themselves

Shall set around the city each his throne
