quod si adeo placui deflenda in tempora vates, dicam equidem, quo me Lachesis, quo torva Megaera usque sinunt: bellum, innumero venit undique bellum agmine, Lernaeosque trahit fatalis alumnos Gradivus stimulis; hos terrae monstra deumque tela manent pulchrique obitus et ab igne supremo sontes lege morae.
But if I am so welcome as a prophet for tearful times, speak I will, so far as Lachesis and grim Magaera permit. War is coming, war from every quarter in countless host, and by fates decree Gradivus draws on Lernas children with his goads. Portents of earth await them and weapons of the gods and beauteous death and guilty ordinance delaying the final fire.
