the

And then incensed shall God the imperishable,

Down on the head of him that is impure.

And in the place of winter there shall be

Shall then be great woe; for the Thunderer

And thus shall he destroy the impious ones,

So that there shall remain upon the earth

Dead bodies more in number than the sand.

Shall come unto the gates of Ephesus

Beside the waters of Maeander, thee

Shall by the nightly surges under shore

Take me not, willing, to the neighboring land

And the wise care and prudent plan of men.

Father of all, be gracious to the land

The works thrice wretched of the Thracians

The works thrice wretched of the Thracians

Trailed in the dust along beneath the mist,

Trailed in the dust along beneath the mist,

Even like a river for the swimming fish.

Of the Assyrians shall throw a yoke

Across thee; battle of the Thracians comes

Over the land of Macedonia

Shall waste the strength of captains. Lydians,

And the Galatians, and Pamphylians

With the Pisidians, all equipped for war

And sometime high in the broad heaven above

And the unwasting flames of the sun himself

And the unwasting flames of the sun himself

Shall be no more, nor shall the brilliant light

Of the moon again be in the latest time,

Of the moon again be in the latest time,

When God shall bc the ruler. And dark gloom

Shall be o'er all the earth, and blinded men

Himself is Lord, the overseer of all

But let the law of wisdom be your guide

And the glory of the righteous; lest sometime

And the glory of the righteous; lest sometime

The imperishable God incensed destroy

The Father, the wise God who ever is.

The Father, the wise God who ever is.

In the last time, at the turning of the moon,

In the last time, at the turning of the moon,

In the last time, at the turning of the moon,

There shall be raging through the world a war

And from the limits of the earth shall come

And from the limits of the earth shall come

For emulation's sake. And from the West

And in the plains of Macedonia

Shall wrath distil and give help from the West,

But to the king destruction. And a wind

Of winter then shall blow upon the earth,

And the plain be filled with evil war again.

For fire shall rain down from the heavenly plains

And waste in war and o'er the slaughter mist,

Then the destruction pitiable of war.

That they might at the last be filled with joy.

Shall care no longer for the fire divine

Extinguished, when I saw the second house

By the soul hoped for and the body itself.

By the soul hoped for and the body itself.

For not without the rites of burial

Shall one praise God out of the unseen earth,

Nor had he fear of gold, cheat of the world

And of souls, but the mighty Father, God

When he set foot on the immortal land

Destroyed the ground. And such a sign no more

That others the great city should destroy.

For there came from the heavenly plains a man,

And unto all the good did he restore

The riches which the earlier men had seized.

The riches which the earlier men had seized.

The towns of mortals who before did evil,

Touching the clouds themselves and seen by all,

Might see the glory of the eternal God,

Might see the glory of the eternal God,

And setting day hymned forth the praise of God.

It is the last time of the saints when God

It is the last time of the saints when God

Kingdom of many years and of the world

Of the Euphrates; thou shalt be laid low

By rout of earthquake. But the Parthians dire

The Persians or how thou shalt rule the Medes;

The Persians or how thou shalt rule the Medes;

Unto the judgment of antagonists,

Bitter vexation to the enemies,

And in the last time shall the sea be dry

And in the last time shall the sea be dry

And Asia the great then, all-hapless, shall

And now the dry land shall be fruitless sand

Upon the shore. And locusts not a few

Shall utterly destroy the Cyprian land.

In the fifth generation, when the ruin

In the fifth generation, when the ruin

And in Asia and among the Libyans

Shall in the dust be a world-maddening war

Exceeding bloody, which the king of Rome

And rulers of the West shall make to cease.

When wintry storm shall drop down like the snow,

Into the Asian land and shall destroy

The race of dreadful Thracians, hard to quell.

And shall gulp down the entrails. And wild beasts
