shall

And the Persians he shall rule and Babylon;

And then shall he smite Medians with his spear.

Then shall one rule who has the initial sign

Of the number three. And then shall be a lord

Who shall for first initial have twice ten;

And he shall come to Ocean's utmost water

And one whose mark is fifty shall be lord,

Who sometime stretching forth his hands shall make

And he shall cleave the mountain of two seas

Shall also vanish the destructive man;

Shall he return; but God will prove him naught.

And after him shall three kings be destroyed

Of pious men shall come, whom seven times ten

Shall point out clearly. But from him a son,

Shall take the power. And after him shall be

Shall take the power. And after him shall be

Three hundred, shall a Celtic mountaineer,

Escape not fate unseemly, but shall be

Shall hide a corpse. And after him shall rule

Shall hide a corpse. And after him shall rule

And unto him shall be the name of a sea;

And he shall be a man the best of all

And upon thy shoots shall be all these days.

After him three shall rule; but the third one

Shall at a late time hold the royal power.

Of oracles. First Maenades shall dart

When the Nile some time shall fill the whole land

It shall wash all the land, and water it

Shall be still and the glory of her face.

The Thunderer shall himself with great voice cry:

For thee shall there be right among the blessed;

Speak out for the last time, when men shall be

(Of cities) war shall not leave, nor (plague) . . .

No more for thee shall flow luxurious drink . . .

For there shall come a Persian on thy dale,

And like hail shall he all the land destroy,

All Asia shall wail on account of gifts

The Persian land by lot, he shall make war

So that there shall remain for wretched mortals

A third part. But with nimble leap shall he

Besiege and waste. But when he shall possess

He shall come, wishing to destroy the city

Sent forth from God against him shall destroy

Shall judgement by the Immortal come to men.

The river of Euphrates shall bring on

A deluge, and it shall destroy the Persians,

Shall to the isles beam brightly. Pergamos,

Revered of old, shall perish from its base,

And Pitane among men shall appear

All-desolate. All Lesbos shall sink deep

Into the deep, and thus shall be destroyed.

Smyrna, whirled down her cliffs, shall wail aloud,

Shall perish utterly. Bithynians

Shall over their own country, then reduced

Upon the painful land! And it shall dash

And there shall be for Phrygia fearful wrath

The sea shall overthrow the Centaur race

Shall tear away the Lapithaean land.

Peneus, shall destroy Thessalian land,

Hellas thrice wretched shall the poets weep,

When one from Italy shall smite the neck

Applause for his sweet Songs, shall put to death

From Babylon shall flee the fearful lord

And he shall come to monarchs of the Medes

But when the fourth year a great star shall shine,

Which alone shall the whole earth overpower

To lord Poseidon; then a great star shall come

And the river Tiber shall lament for thee,

Shall sack." But now shall God, who ever is,

Shall sack." But now shall God, who ever is,

No longer shall thy ensign yet remain,

The pyramids shall speak a ruthless sound.

Shall put on over that which is defiled,

Shall slay the people; but thou, wretched one,

Didst perpetrate. They also shall behold

Shall overthrow Syene; by their might

Shall swarthy Indians occupy Teucheira.

Shall burn thee whole. All-tearful Libya,

Who shall explain thy follies? And Cyrene,

Of mortals who shall pitiably weep

Rich in gold, Ocean shall be roaring loud

And he shall slaughter thee, thyself, Ravenna,

And unto slaughter shall he lead the way.

Shall wind about the middle of the heaven,

Fastening a belt the sun shall lead all heaven,

There shall be moving downwards to the earth

Shall perish in the midst of fire and groans.

The Fates three sisters, spinning shall aloft

Of the isthmus, until all shall look at him

He also shall destroy and smite thy land,

From three heads he shall give food in excess

To others, so that kings unclean shall eat

And grief shall come in that day. For mankind

But when the Persian land shall keep away

Shall offer prayer, who shall dwell round about

Shall offer prayer, who shall dwell round about

A great wall they shall carry it aloft

Unto the gloomy clouds. No more shall trump

Shall they be cut off; but they shall set up

Shall they be cut off; but they shall set up
