shall

Her trophies; and she shall serve shamefully,

Of cities, she shall feed sheep-eating race

Shall utterly destroy and send thee on

Of goodly towers shall go; and then shall all

Of goodly towers shall go; and then shall all

And things that were ye shall know from our words;

Then none shall call the God-seized prophetess

Shall be of Rome the ruler, very strong

O thou of goodly fruit, he shall be full

For he, great soul, shall be the best in wars;

Before him Thrace and Sicily shall crouch,

Having great fame he shall wield scepter long;

For no short time shall he last nor shall ever

For no short time shall he last nor shall ever

Shall shine forth out of heaven in the mid days,

Then shall the secret Word of the Most High

Shall increase. But the mighty king himself

Shall under his appointed lot expire,

Shall bear rule, and with his initial be

Numbers three hundred, and he shall destroy

And he himself by his power shall subvert

The high-gate city; and again shall come

And he himself shall ravage afterwards

Shall forthwith fall down, struck by gleaming iron.

And afterwards shall rule another man

Shall gather; and with him there shall not be

Shall gather; and with him there shall not be

But peace shall come, and Ares shall desist

But peace shall come, and Ares shall desist

From wars; and he shall make known many things

Yet there shall be on him the greatest sign:

There shall flow many little drops of blood.

And famine shall seize Cappadocians,

And Egypt shall alone feed numerous tribes;

Shall craftily destroy the virgin maid;

Shall bury; and against the king they all

Holding wrath shall abuse him craftily.

While strong Rome blossoms the strong man shall perish.

And again there shall rule another lord

Of the number of twice ten; and then shall come

Wars and sad cares; and Roman Ares shall

Shall there be when this man shall rule the land

Shall there be when this man shall rule the land

And there shall be at the mid hour of day

Shall go in Hades' halls by his own fate.

Again another fearful man shall come

Born to wealth he shall utterly destroy,

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 while he rules there shall be peace profound

Shall come untrodden water; and around

After him three shall rule and two of them

Shall have the number seventy by their names,

And in addition to these shall be one

Shall perish by strong Ares' sturdy hands.

Then shall a mighty ruler of men come,

Shall point out clearly; he shall overthrow

Shall point out clearly; he shall overthrow

A sword shall come upon the sacred land

And every nation shall upon thee tread.

And every means of life and wealth shall perish;

Shall come, because they did not keep his law,

Of cities shall be. But the reverend king

Of mighty soul shall at the end of life

Then shall two other chief men, cherishing

And (one) of these shall be a noble man

And lordly, whose name shall three hundred hold;

Yet he shall also fall by treachery,

Of the letter four shall rule the mighty realm,

Whom all men on the boundless earth shall love,

And then shall there be over all the world

Shall serve him willingly, not by constraint,

And cities shall be under his control

Shall heavenly Sabaoth much glory bring,

And then shall famine waste Pannonia

And all the Celtic land, and shall destroy

One here, another there. And there shall be

Shall have a fondness for these and love them

But he himself shall in mid breast receive

Of the great royal hall shall he fall down

Wounded; and after him shall be a ruler

Who above measure shall destroy from Rome

But he shall rule few; for in Hades' halls

For a former king's sake he shall wounded go.

Shall bear rule and lay waste the Thracians' land

Which is much varied, and he shall destroy

Moreover, there shall be unto the Jews

Bedewed with murder shall Phœnicia drink;

And the walls of the Assyrians shall fall

Destroying life shall waste them utterly.

And then shall threatenings of the mighty God,

Shall for the toil of Ares not escape

Shall he be; foreign dust shall hide his corpse,

Shall he be; foreign dust shall hide his corpse,

And after him another shall arise,

Shall be his name, and of four syllables,

Presenting. Temples he shall dedicate

And great peace shall be when he shall be lord;
