and

In that day summer. And to mortal men

And with his thunders and with lightning-flames

And with his thunders and with lightning-flames

And blazing thunderbolts men of ill-will,

And thus shall he destroy the impious ones,

And she herself shall perish even more.

And foolish Cyme with her inspired streams

And lawless, shall to heaven not so much

Dead in Cymaean streams. And then shall they

Cyme's rough populace and shameless tribe,

And then, when they shall have bewailed their land

God's wrath and foresight utterly destroy.

And the wise care and prudent plan of men.

And the wise care and prudent plan of men.

And to hold fast what God put in their charge.

I yearn to see, and wall between two seas

And shall despoil thy strength. And there shall rule

And shall despoil thy strength. And there shall rule

A king of Egypt, and a barbarous clime

And the Galatians, and Pamphylians

And the Galatians, and Pamphylians

And sometime high in the broad heaven above

And the unwasting flames of the sun himself

When God shall bc the ruler. And dark gloom

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

And evil beasts and woe; that day shall be

And evil beasts and woe; that day shall be

In front of heaven. And then will he himself

Their herds of lambs and sheep and calves and goats

Their herds of lambs and sheep and calves and goats

Their herds of lambs and sheep and calves and goats

And bellowing golden-horned bulls, offering them

To lifeless Hermae and to gods of stone.

And the glory of the righteous; lest sometime

Each race of men and shameless tribe of life,

And carried on with cunning, and in guile.

And carried on with cunning, and in guile.

And from the limits of the earth shall come

Fleeing and pondering sharp things in his mind,

Shall overpower and over all things rule,

And see all things more wisely than all men;

And that for whose sake he himself was slain

Shall he seize forthwith. And he shall destroy

Many men and great tyrants and shall burn

Many men and great tyrants and shall burn

And he shall raise up them that are afraid

For emulation's sake. And from the West

Much war shall come to men, and blood shall flow

And in the plains of Macedonia

Shall wrath distil and give help from the West,

But to the king destruction. And a wind

And the plain be filled with evil war again.

On mortals, and therewith blood, water, flash

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

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

And these together shall destroy all kings

And noblest men. Thus shall be made to cease

And no more shall one fight with swords or iron

And evil-working boldness, who of old

And placed as harlots maidens pure before

In brothels by assault and punishment

And by much-laboring indecency.

Unlawful intercourse, and daughter was

And in thee kings have their ill-fated mouth

Polluted, and in thee have wicked men

Cast headlong down and overwhelmed with fire

And being always indestructible,

By the soul hoped for and the body itself.

And of souls, but the mighty Father, God

With holy offerings and fair hecatombs.

But now an unseen and unholy king

With multitude great and with men renowned

Rose into power and cast his dwelling down

And let it go unbuilt. But he himself

Destroyed the ground. And such a sign no more

Which God gave him, and he ruled all things well,

And unto all the good did he restore

And many cities with much fire he took

From their foundations, and he set on fire

And he did make that city, which God loved,

More radiant than stars and sun and moon,

More radiant than stars and sun and moon,

And he set order, and a holy house

And he set order, and a holy house

Incarnate made, pure, very fair, and formed

In many stades a great and boundless tower

Touching the clouds themselves and seen by all,

So that all holy and all righteous men

And setting day hymned forth the praise of God.

And lawless love of boys, nor homicide

For golden throne and golden sandal famed,

Kingdom of many years and of the world

And city of all cities, thou no more

Shalt lie in golden mountains and by streams

And serving Asia, thou that formerly

And thou shalt give instead of crooked words

And in the last time shall the sea be dry

And ships no longer sail to Italy,

And Asia the great then, all-hapless, shall

Be water, and then Crete shall be a plain.
