from

For he may not be seen from earth nor measured

From the first generation to the eleventh;

Who pours from hallowed mouth a truthful voice.

From the first generation, those I'll tell.

Of the world, from the time the God of heaven

And from the heaven the stars and circling moon

And works of men headlong; and from the deep

And there shall come from Asia a great king

From battle fearful Asia shall receive.

An evil conquest from behind, and Carians

But those from Susa and from Bactria

But those from Susa and from Bactria

But from the west a great Italian war

From Italy, and God's great temple spoil.

But when from deep cleft of Italian land

And small drops like red earth shall fall from heaven,

But when piety shall perish from mankind,

From thoughtlessness they utterly destroy

Of king Assaracus, who came from Troy,

Shall point out clearly. But from him a son,

Fallen from the stars, thou shalt not rise to heaven."

Himself speed from the West, and all the land

Sent forth from God against him shall destroy

Revered of old, shall perish from its base,

Snatching men from the earth. Eridanus

When one from Italy shall smite the neck

From Babylon shall flee the fearful lord

From heaven into the dreadful sea and burn

So that thou mayest cease from wickedness.

A mighty Gallic host from Syria;

From three heads he shall give food in excess

Embittered from within? Cast down ill thee

From war and plague and groaning, in that day

And one shall come again from heaven, a man

From the clouds; and no more shall mortals reap

The fair corn from the earth; all things unsown

Shall bring forth, from the honey-dripping rock

A stream and from a spring ambrosial milk

Who dwells on high, hurl thunderbolts from heaven

Alas for thee, cease from thy revelry.

Dainty Miletus from above destroy,

And from the limits of the earth shall come

For emulation's sake. And from the West

Shall wrath distil and give help from the West,

For fire shall rain down from the heavenly plains

For there came from the heavenly plains a man,

From their foundations, and he set on fire

Shall devour from all houses table-food,

From the river and be red with flesh and blood

And Taurus took away from Capricorn

And from the Sun's flame Sirius slipped away;

I from the heart proclaim, to whom a throne,

Trailing its gleaming billows, from the fire

Descent praiseworthy from a heavenly Sire.

And from one scrip shall be men's fill of bread,

The two begotten from each other's ribs

Who mocks at mortal schemes; but from a thorn

Noah sole fugitive from all men came.

O Phrygia, first shalt thou flame from the crest

Shall Roman Ares flash from many a spear;

From the force of the spear. But they shall leave

Escaping from the mainland thou shalt swim;

His hunger which comes from his poverty,

And thou from peoples ever far away

From under flesh, and burning in the spirit

According to their cities. From the time

And if the huge earth from the starry heaven

There shall come to thee sometime from above

Thrice five, enslaving the world from the east

When from the utmost limits of the earth

With hands gigantic coming from on high

From Hades a great mournful bellowing

For rich and poor; and naked from the earth

And cease from life when they complete their time.

From the same race another king shall reign,

With hidden children from the Asian land,

The sign of judgment. And from heaven shall come

And lamentation shall there be from all

From heaven a very lamentable sound,

To the man who was fashioned from the first

From the beginning the Almighty said:

In peaceful faith. And from five loaves of bread

Which from the first by the decrees of men

Then from the dead departing he shall come

From above, they might be no more enslaved

From thy soul love him and extol his name.

From their blood; for he is not by thy songs

For from heaven shall the stars of light all fall.

Shall flee away from them; for death no more

Away from them. For he to erring men

From earth to heaven is, and the beginning

[For all things have proceeded from him, things

From the beginning to the end he knows.]

That from them they derive all hope and life,

From thine own labors with unsullied hands

From heaven the fiery blast, and with rough torch

From clashing doth the scepter keep, and calm

And coming late from the virgin Mary's womb

A new light rose, and going forth from heaven

Wholly, even as thyself; and from thy soul
