oer

Illimitable earth was covered o'er.

And flew on, and went o'er the earth and, resting

Had here and there o'er ocean's billows swum,

Covering the eyelids o'er. O blessed servants

Nor freighted vessel o'er the billows pass,

But when Rome shall o'er Egypt also rule

Then when a widow shall o'er all the world

Shalt boast o'er all, but flute shall sound like strain.

By strokes o'er all the earth, and bitter fate

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

Of the age, and o'er all earth common law

Sailed o'er the waters with the beasts and birds,

Shall dash o'er Cyprus washed by many a wave.

O'er craven mortals greatly, thou shalt wail

To ashes, wail, and o'er great Syria,

And o'er Phœnicia that bas many tribes.

While thou alone wast ruling o'er the world;

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

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

And o'er thee shall kingfishers wail sad dirge.

Moving against all, passing o'er the sea,

And o'er the Hebrews then a mighty king

And he will watch o'er many things in wars.

And then o'er the Assyrians there shall rule

And sailing o'er the sea. Then, faithless Greece,

Than this one, o'er the Romans, not one hour,

The Germans dwelling o'er the sandy shores.

In all the cities, watching o'er the world

O'er fertile Rome another great-souled lord

In which the living uttering o'er the dead

And o'er the very mighty Romans then

Shall ruin field-fruits o'er the boundless earth.

And an incessant darkness o'er the earth,
