shall

And great peace shall be when he shall be lord;

And he shall be a minstrel of rich voice

But he shall fall, unloosing his own fate.

After him three shall rule, and the third late

Shall rule, three decades keeping; yet again

Of the first unit shall another king

Shall be commander, of tens numbering seven;

And their names shall be honored; and they shall

And their names shall be honored; and they shall

Of these shall perish, fearful Ares then,

He that before was wounded, shall again

Shall he destroy them. And then shall the king

Shall he destroy them. And then shall the king

And after him another man shall rule,

In many wise things skilled, and he shall have

Of the first unit; and he shall be good

Shall this strong one accomplish many things

Shall he adorn the walls of Rome with gold

And silver and ivory; and he shall go

Shall shoot up like ears in the Roman wars;

And he shall sack the whole land of the Germans,

When a great sign of God shall be displayed

From heaven, and shall for the king's piety

Shall wet him with unseasonable rain

Shall also the renowned dominion cease

Succeeding to the kingdom, he shall die

From the race of his father, shall receive

Of mind shall grasp all things; and he shall rival

Of mind shall grasp all things; and he shall rival

But he shall live in peril all alone.

And while this man is ruler there shall be

A fearful sign: there shall be a great mist

Shall come to pass along with mournful cares,

And weakly, shall come in the marriage-bed

Shall in a bath-room suffer evil plight,

Shall perish. And then Rome shall be bereft

Shall perish. And then Rome shall be bereft

And shall repay all things, which she alone

Shall have been finished Cronos shall complete

Shall have been finished Cronos shall complete

Shall in thy houses pour out blood, shall make

Shall in thy houses pour out blood, shall make

And burdened with old age; but he shall make

And miseries of conquests there shall be,

Shall, cleft by force of hands, fall in the plain.

And then another man shall rule, and have

And many sorrows shall he bring to pass,

And groans, and he shall plunder many men;

But he himself shall be short-lived and fall

Another, numbering fifty, then shall come,

A warlike Ares he shall come to Thrace;

And he shall flee thereafter and shall come

And he shall flee thereafter and shall come

The life-destroyer shall with speedy stroke

And then again there shall rule craftily

Roused up by the West, and his name shall have

Another sign: he shall contrive a war

And he shall rule the Romans with his might;

And violent in war, who shall destroy

He shall go to the East; and all deceit

Shall be to him . . .

Then shall a youthful Caesar with him reign

Bringing in broils around him he shall flee

A temple-guard, shall perish suddenly

Him even dead shall people tear in pieces.

And then the kings of Persia shall rise up;

And Phrygia shall with earthquakes groan again

Shall wail . . . while men are perishing

Shall be bad; but then by the eastern way

Stripped naked he shall fall by gleaming iron,

For all things shall not be (the lot) of all,

But only those shall be for happiness

And battles there shall be, and homicides,

And then an insurrection there shall be

Shall draw near, a young Ares, and as far

Shall warlike Ares stretch his deadly spear

For by his friend betrayed he shall fall down

There shall a purple-loving warrior rule,

A Caesar, shall even all the earth oppress;

Five hundred. But when these in wars shall rule,

And laws shall be enacted, there shall be

And laws shall be enacted, there shall be

But when a wolf shall to a flock of sheep

And then shall there be an unlawful strife

Shall perish terribly, and Indians

Shall one another by hard fights destroy.

But when a Roman Ares shall destroy

But for them there shall not be victory;

Shall hold in numbers of revolving time,

So many years shall the great noble city

Being then impotent shall pray for peace

And there shall come wrath of the mighty God

Shall utterly destroy them, which shall come

Shall utterly destroy them, which shall come

The Pyramus shall irrigate the city

Of Mopsus; then shall the AEgaeans fall

Thee, wretched Antioch, shall Ares strong

Is pressing, for a chief of men shall dwell

Within thy houses who shall fight with all

Shall benefit thee not; thou, wretched one,
