Roman force will ram the island's neck into a noose of stone.

Emerging first in Brigantia, exalted later then in Rome!

Prostrate before a slavish god, at last he is revealed divine,

Embrace imperial will make dead marble of the Church's shrine.

Remember this: We hold these truths self-evident to be -

I say to you that all men are created equal, free

Rights inalienable assured by the Maker's attribute

Endowed with Life and Liberty and Happiness' pursuit.

O child! thou tapestried in time, strike home! Strike at the root!

The Menologium of the Blessed Isolde

(Free translation from Old English, with acrostic preserved.)

These the Great Years

Whose awe and beauty

Light step by step

An Aryan realm

The Comet comes

Each man of gold

In life a great king

Nine-hundred and fifty-one

The Comet comes

Number months thirty-five

See the Bear laid low

Nine-hundred and eighteen

The Comet comes

The blood of the holy one

Empire dreams pour
