men

Shall flee away from men, and force shall flee,

Producing one root which the bane of men

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

A spoil shalt thou become for greedy men.

Will he make gods stand, empty-headed men,

For greedy men, and put upon thy neck

Well made, and very precious wealth of men

Shalt slay thyself. And thou shalt not of men

Woe, woe to the race of Phœnician men

And Ethiopian and Arabian men

Of chosen men; and they shall tear in pieces

Many fat flocks of sheep of men, and herds

A much-distressing fire; and of all men

O Greece, why hast thou trusted mortal men

Ruled o'er the Greeks, who first to mortal men

Of men, with mighty groaning lifting up

Of godless men, even when that fated day

Of godly men who, keeping to the counsels

Nor pay they honor to the works of men

And then their parents; and above all men

Which they were under. Therefore on all men

The immortal Sire of all men, but revered

Which countless Macedonian men shall rule;

And then will God bestow great joy on men;

Their genuine fruit to men shall offer--wine,

On miserable men. But do thou heed

And the land change its men, and foreign rule

Proclaiming sad the filth of men defiled

Envy is not a good to wretched men.

The great God's temple and the noblest men.

Shall come down flaming in the midst of men.

The souls of men and every sea shall tremble

And well-built walls of evil-minded men

Shall be at once a shout of perishing men;

The immortal God loves those men; for all things

Of dead men." These things souls of faithful melt

Upon men. For all-mother earth shall yield

Perfect for men, touching whatever things

And the stern rage of men he'll burn with fire.

To be inquired of by men yet to be,

But what God gave for faithful men to honor;

Of mysteries divine. And men shalt say

And things that were, and tell them unto men.

Of lying Phœbus whom vain men called god,

But of the mighty God, whom hands of men

Truly to men what things have now befallen

Blessed of men shall they be on the earth

Shall other men, that love a shameless life,

Being wroth against the cities and all men

And works of men headlong; and from the deep

As men shall wish away--the din of war,

And fighting make an end of many men;

But, when the race of mortal men shall come

And many cities burn and men destroy,

The race of men by conflagration great.

And destroy the whole race of men, and all

The bones and ashes of men God himself

And after many lords, and after men

Of pious men shall come, whom seven times ten

Immortal in the clouds. Where among men

And didst urge evil forward on good men,

Speak out for the last time, when men shall be

Evil men evil things awaiting, wrath

Did men receive gods made of wood and stone

And artful men, with blood and corpses. . . .

All mighty kings and bravest men. And thus

Shall judgement by the Immortal come to men.

And Pitane among men shall appear

Snatching men from the earth. Eridanus

With his own wretched mother many men.

And shameless whom all mortals and best men

And of men stained with blood had he been formed.

He brought renown, while with those wicked men

There perished many holy faithful men

The flesh of parents. For unto all men

Of evils, and for men a great curse, who

There was once among men the sun's bright light

Speech dripping honey, fair drink for all men,

Restored again,--hear, O thou curse of men,

Their trophies for an age of evil men.

And unplowed, until mortal men shall know

The holy land of the only pious men

In that day summer. And to mortal men

Shall utterly destroy all shameless men

And blazing thunderbolts men of ill-will,

Cast down by hands of godless men unjust

And the wise care and prudent plan of men.

Thy gracious gift unto all mortal men

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

A long time, so that men shall see that God

Not pity hostile men, who sacrifice

Each race of men and shameless tribe of life,

And see all things more wisely than all men;

Many men and great tyrants and shall burn

Much war shall come to men, and blood shall flow

And noblest men. Thus shall be made to cease

Polluted, and in thee have wicked men

With multitude great and with men renowned

Was wrought upon men, so that it appeared

The riches which the earlier men had seized.
