shall

And famine shall seize Cappadocians,

And Egypt shall alone feed numerous tribes;

Shall craftily destroy the virgin maid;

Shall bury; and against the king they all

Holding wrath shall abuse him craftily.

While strong Rome blossoms the strong man shall perish.

And again there shall rule another lord

Of the number of twice ten; and then shall come

Wars and sad cares; and Roman Ares shall

Shall there be when this man shall rule the land

Shall there be when this man shall rule the land

And there shall be at the mid hour of day

Shall go in Hades' halls by his own fate.

Again another fearful man shall come

Born to wealth he shall utterly destroy,

Who sometime stretching forth his hands shall make

And he shall cleave the mountain of two seas,

Shall also vanish the destructive man;

Shall he return, but God will prove him naught.

And while he rules there shall be peace profound

Shall come untrodden water; and around

After him three shall rule and two of them

Shall have the number seventy by their names,

And in addition to these shall be one

Shall perish by strong Ares' sturdy hands.

Then shall a mighty ruler of men come,

Shall point out clearly; he shall overthrow

Shall point out clearly; he shall overthrow

A sword shall come upon the sacred land

And every nation shall upon thee tread.

And every means of life and wealth shall perish;

Shall come, because they did not keep his law,

Of cities shall be. But the reverend king

Of mighty soul shall at the end of life

Then shall two other chief men, cherishing

And (one) of these shall be a noble man

And lordly, whose name shall three hundred hold;

Yet he shall also fall by treachery,

Of the letter four shall rule the mighty realm,

Whom all men on the boundless earth shall love,

And then shall there be over all the world

Shall serve him willingly, not by constraint,

And cities shall be under his control

Shall heavenly Sabaoth much glory bring,

And then shall famine waste Pannonia

And all the Celtic land, and shall destroy

One here, another there. And there shall be

Shall have a fondness for these and love them

But he himself shall in mid breast receive

Of the great royal hall shall he fall down

Wounded; and after him shall be a ruler

Who above measure shall destroy from Rome

But he shall rule few; for in Hades' halls

For a former king's sake he shall wounded go.

Shall bear rule and lay waste the Thracians' land

Which is much varied, and he shall destroy

Moreover, there shall be unto the Jews

Bedewed with murder shall Phœnicia drink;

And the walls of the Assyrians shall fall

Destroying life shall waste them utterly.

And then shall threatenings of the mighty God,

Shall for the toil of Ares not escape

Shall he be; foreign dust shall hide his corpse,

Shall he be; foreign dust shall hide his corpse,

And after him another shall arise,

Shall be his name, and of four syllables,

Presenting. Temples he shall dedicate

And great peace shall be when he shall be lord;

And great peace shall be when he shall be lord;

And he shall be a minstrel of rich voice

But he shall fall, unloosing his own fate.

After him three shall rule, and the third late

Shall rule, three decades keeping; yet again

Of the first unit shall another king

Shall be commander, of tens numbering seven;

And their names shall be honored; and they shall

And their names shall be honored; and they shall

Of these shall perish, fearful Ares then,

He that before was wounded, shall again

Shall he destroy them. And then shall the king

Shall he destroy them. And then shall the king

And after him another man shall rule,

In many wise things skilled, and he shall have

Of the first unit; and he shall be good

Shall this strong one accomplish many things

Shall he adorn the walls of Rome with gold

And silver and ivory; and he shall go

Shall shoot up like ears in the Roman wars;

And he shall sack the whole land of the Germans,

When a great sign of God shall be displayed

From heaven, and shall for the king's piety

Shall wet him with unseasonable rain

Shall also the renowned dominion cease

Succeeding to the kingdom, he shall die

From the race of his father, shall receive

Of mind shall grasp all things; and he shall rival

Of mind shall grasp all things; and he shall rival

But he shall live in peril all alone.

And while this man is ruler there shall be

A fearful sign: there shall be a great mist
