Bounded on the Danube, in Africa,
Among the tribes along the Thames' shore,
And where the rising sun ascends in flame,
Her own nurslings stirred, in mutinous game
Against her very self, the spoils of war,
So dearly won from all the world before,
That same world's spoil
suddenly

So when the Great Year its course has run,
And twenty six thousand years are done,

Those seeds that are the source of everything,
