by

By far the noblest heroes of the Greeks

Shall he fall by a treacherous woman's hand.

By reason of the fearful toil of war;

And also holding his son by the hand

Destroyed by waters in the depths of sea,

By whose good understanding the whole world

But by base spearman he himself shall fall

Named by the number four, expert with spear

By his companions treacherously betrayed

And faithless, shall rule each by his own tribe;

And he himself in turn by his own son,

There shall be of the land by Nilus' streams

Struck by dire Ares by a hostile man,

Struck by dire Ares by a hostile man,

Thou shalt give the whole land by way of dower

By reason of the wickedness of rulers

And he himself by his power shall subvert

And to those by the waters of the Rhine,

Shall forthwith fall down, struck by gleaming iron.

Shall go in Hades' halls by his own fate.

Flowing, and cleaving by Ausonia,

Shall have the number seventy by their names,

Shall perish by strong Ares' sturdy hands.

Himself fall by a strong necessity.

Yet he shall also fall by treachery,

But struck in Rome's plain by the two-edged brass.

Shall serve him willingly, not by constraint,

Craftily, by a friend, in hallowed house

The powerful Germans dwelling by the Rhine

By many warriors. And again a man

By his own foot, and bringing gifts away,

Themselves destroy men marked by many a spot,

Himself fall by a treacherous wild beast

By his own lot and leave the royal power

Man-slaying Ares bound by treacherous fate.

Because of zeal for power; and by the hands

Before accomplished by her many wars.

Shall, cleft by force of hands, fall in the plain.

By mighty Ares, struck by gleaming iron.

By mighty Ares, struck by gleaming iron.

A warrior roused up by the East for rule;

Roused up by the West, and his name shall have

Of Macedon, by the first letter known;

Who rules by his barbaric usages,

Slain by strong Ares with the gleaming iron;

Shall be bad; but then by the eastern way

Stripped naked he shall fall by gleaming iron,

And spear impetuous Ares; and by him

For by his friend betrayed he shall fall down

In the ranks smitten by the gleaming iron.

Shall one another by hard fights destroy.

Reposing by the sacred water's side,

By reason of the strife of shameful men.

By reason of the wickedness of chiefs.

By citizens against each other matched

By treachery on the older king's account.

From Syria appearing, he by guile

Her holy city. But when he by flight

In the ranks smitten by the gleaming iron;

The Romans, but by the divine decree

A blessing shall by word of mouth pronounce

When by thy lack of prudence thou shalt fall

Alas, how many by the steep high mount

Of Casius shall dwell and by Amanus

And then by his own shameless recklessness

By mighty Ares, struck by gleaming iron.

By mighty Ares, struck by gleaming iron.

Men perishing by pestilence and war.

And the Persians maddened by the Ausonians

The priest heard of all round, sent by the sun,

From Syria appearing and by guile

And then too by his shameless recklessness

For these things, catching them by their deft plans.

The people of Rome, slain by wickedness

And some he will destroy by lightnings burned,

Being cleft asunder by the piercing brass.

By means of wars put all things under him,

And by his armies at once power display

Quickly destroy by treacherous armies falling.

Shall rule alone, and smitten by a sword

Betrayed by his companions. After him

Add by good deeds. But while he reigns there shall

Shall by the deep strong rivers be destroyed.

By wasting deadly sickness lose his life.

But they shall fall in wars, slain by strong Ares

And many cities shall by warlike men

Be thrown down headlong by the army's hands;

And he, betrayed, shall fall by gleaming iron.

Shall be hard by the waters of the lake

Maeotis at streams by the utmost mouth

By powerful warriors. Ah, how many men

But die by hand, slain by the gleaming iron.

But die by hand, slain by the gleaming iron.

By Euxine sea, at Thracia's sandy bay.

Of Rome shall rule, shown by the number one,

And then the king shall by a strong hand fall,

Struck as if he were no one by his men.

Shall be again raised up, who shall by lot

All one by one, yet a brilliant comet

First by the blood of sucking quadruped,
