a

Against a friend. Keep not concealed within

A different thought from what thou speakest forth;

Commits a wrong, an evil man is he;

Destructive madness. Anger is a lust,

The zeal of good men is a noble thing,

Increase of shame. A silly man is called

Or evil-minded, or a false deceiver.

A useful thing, but strife engenders strife.

Appointed a reward for victory;

And change of times, and many a tearful wail,

When from the east a people of twelve tribes

For a dark mist shall hide the boundless world,

A mighty stream of burning fire from heaven

And creeping things and fowls, these in a mass

And all that with a shamelessness deceitful

Spoke a harsh word; and all that pledges took

Against a pillar where shall all around

In a circle flow a restless stream of fire;

In a circle flow a restless stream of fire;

Yet afterward shall there a fiery wheel

From a great river circle them around,

Because they had a care for wicked deeds.

By the hands of a virgin undefiled.

Nor rising; for a long day will God make.

A shameless woman. And I pray thee now

Make me to rest a little from my song,

Entreat thee, let me have a little rest;

With a whip smitten from within constrained

O men, that in your image have a form

Who made the heaven and earth. Alas! a race

Over men. And a holy Lord shall come

A fiery cataract. Ah, wretched me!

When there shall pass among all men a stench

Shall draw near, and a flaming power shall come

Of a woman and obedient everywhere.

Then when a widow shall o'er all the world

Shall roll the heaven, even as a scroll is rolled;

A tireless cataract of raging fire,

The judgment midway in a mighty age

When in Assyrian land they built a tower;--

A mighty force; and then winds from above

And fought not; for a father's oaths were there

A female offspring, the fierce Titan men

Rhea a male child bore, and having bound

And a great war and uproar they aroused.

And then a message of the mighty God

Then shall a Macedonian nation rule,

Great, shrewd, who as a fearful cloud of war

And forthwith in them there shall be a force

A great affliction, and it shall disturb

With evils by a shameful covetousness,

Of which a king of Egypt shall be king

Who shall be a descendant from the Greeks.

There is a city . . . on the earth,

Ur of the Chaldees, whence there is a race

And noble deeds have ever been a care.

Nor neighbor remove landmarks of a neighbor,

The rich man in the country send a share

The saying of the mighty God, a hymn

Finished the earth a common good for all.

Nightly pursue their way by a pillar of fire

For them then God a leader will appoint--

A great man, Moses, whom a princess found

A great man, Moses, whom a princess found

Beside a marsh, and carried off and reared

[For the Heavenly finished earth a common good

A hundredfold from one, and thus completes

But there remains for thee a goodly end

And then will God from heaven send a king

There is a royal tribe, the race of which

And I prayed the great Father for a rest

Was set a message of the mighty God

To thee, O Egypt, shall a great blow come

A sword shall pass, and scattering and death

So shall ye come unto a bitter day.

A dreadful judgment, and ye all shall come

And all thy land shall be a wilderness,

And in the west there shall a star shine forth

Which they will call a comet, sign to men

Down the deep stream a fruitful, furrow's track,

And the vast flow shall hold a neck of land.

A house of the Italians, twenty times

Drunken with wine, now shalt thou be a slave

And Rome a room; but the decrees of God

And a calm peace to Asian land shall go.

Or woman; what a home unspeakable

A grievous suffering, and the greatest sore

A family of bastards and of slaves.

Shall come a man unheard of, shoulder-clad

Another plant. A father purple-clad

Shall cut a warlike father off, and Ares,

Baneful and hostile, by a grandson's hand

Straightway shall there a certain token be,

With a city, men and all, of the Earth-shaker

But a beginning of evil shall be made;

A spoil shalt thou become for greedy men.

On Asia and Europe a wide-spreading wave;

Shall call himself a Chian and shall write

Also to Lycia shall a Locrian race

Holding by lot a strait of narrow sea,
