Without old age, without consummation 1 of earth, 2  
Hence we expect not that 3 there should be frailty,  
The sin has not come to us.

45\. 'An evil day when the Serpent went  
To the father to his city! 4  
She has perverted the times 5 in this world,  
So that there came decay which was not original.

46\. 'By greed and lust he 6 has slain us,  
Through which he has ruined his noble race:  
The withered body has gone to the fold of torment,  
And everlasting abode of torture. 7

47\. 'It is a law of pride in this world  
To believe in the creatures, to forget God, 8  
Overthrow by diseases, and old age,  
Destruction of the soul through deception.

48\. 'A noble salvation 9 will come  
From the King who has created,us,  
A white law will come over seas,  
Besides being God, He will be man.
