in

This also in my mind to tell: what first,

All things with care, O mortal shrewd in mind.

O For these are all deceptive, in so far

Just measure, both in fields and cities, holds,

Nor steal they from each other in the night,

The rich man in the country send a share

In legal setting; for the Heavenly One

For all, and in all hearts as best gift thought.]

Shall all fall to the ground, since in thy heart

In the great God's pure laws, when he shall lift

To judge each man in blood and light of fire.

From constraint; even in my heart again

And plant in royal minds things yet to be.

And in my mind God put this first to say

Shall ruin every land. For high in air to thee

Shall it come down, and the soul in thy children

In the midst of the rivers of Ethiopia!

In pieces the great house of the Immortal,

And in the west there shall a star shine forth

In Asia--Iassus, Cebren, Pandonia,

Astypalaia; and in Europe--Tanagra,

As many Italians shall in Asia serve

In poverty, and numerous debts incur.

And wedded in no honorable way.

And theft, and every evil in those days.

In later generations distant far.

When Rhea's blood-stained race, in the great earth

Blooming perennial in impervious roots,

Shall, root and branch, in one night disappear

In Sparta an Erinys very fair,

And in his eyes the light shall fade away;

With one accord shall Hades bold in charge.

And Samos shall in time build royal houses.

As thou in thine own heart didst not foresee,

Shalt weep in silence for thy boastful sire.

of a holy God sink down in ocean depths,

And the vast riches swimming in the sea!

Not one of you shall in the common light

Of chosen men; and they shall tear in pieces

Of battle and come to their help in life.

Who put the error in thy heart to do

But come and learn this and store in your hearts,

What troubles in the rolling years shall come.

Which God alone shall purpose not in vain

On the great altar. And in righteousness,

Blest shall they dwell in cities and rich fields.

Conceal in clefts of rocks, when a young king,

Will be for cities--in a foreign land.

Many lengths of time in the revolving years,

To hold ill will, in heart abetting evils.

Shall rush in masses, bringing on themselves

Shall come down flaming in the midst of men.

And in those days shall earth, all-mother, reel

In the deep sea, and all wild, beasts of earth,

And misty gorges in the lofty hills

And all the unholy shall be bathed in blood;

Whatever only in my heart he put;

For truthful is God's spirit in the world.

Again around the temple live in peace,

Rejoicing in those things which he shall give

In cities and in country without war.

In cities and in country without war.

Help them in conflict and deliver them

[And in those days shall earth, all-mother, reel.]

Sweet word shall they send from their mouths in hymns:

To the temple let its in procession go,

Seven lengths of time in the revolving years;

Will the Immortal in the starry heaven

But change entirely the thoughts in thy heart,

Is angry with him who in these things sins.

Of the deep shall be easy in those days

Joy in thy age. And he will dwell in thee;

Joy in thy age. And he will dwell in thee;

And lambs shall in the mountains feed on grass

In bonds shall lead them; for he will make beasts

On earth shall be. When in the starry heaven

And the sun's brightness in the midst of heaven

And in the cloud shalt ye behold a war

In the dense fog. This end of all things God

Shalt consummate, whose dwelling is in heaven.

In Hellas that I am of foreign Land,

Those God made known to me; and in my mind

Alone was left and in a wooden house

In order that the world might be refilled,

Will prove all things. But do thou in all things,

Trusting in piety. When they behold

With jest and joke like babes in senselessness,

But these things all in the tenth generation

In which times those events shall come to pass:

Shall disappear; and earth in tumult shaken

In battle; and the, Medes shall fall and fly

Greatest in all the world, and they shall have

Her flame disgorges; and in the deep chasm

And strife shall be in Hellas; they shall rage

Shall dwell in Tyre, and Tyrians be destroyed.

Shall stand with walls that were in vain hopes built.

In Bactria Macedonians shall dwell;

Shalt thou, in manner like an alien, pray

Having confidence in his most wicked hands.

Fire shall come flashing forth in the broad heaven,
