quis enim resistere potest vultui meo?
|
I not as cruel schal reise hym;
for who may ayenstonde my face? |
I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel:
for who can resist my countenance? |
|
| 2 |
Quis ante dedit mihi, ut reddam ei?
omnia quæ sub cælo sunt, mea sunt.

And who yaf to me bifore, that Y yelde to hym?
Alle thingis, that ben vndur heuene, ben myne. |

All things that are under heaven are mine. |

and maad faire to biseche. |
I will not spare him, nor his mighty words,
and framed to make supplication. |

Corpus illius quasi scuta fusilia,
compactum squamis se prementibus.

His bodi is as yotun scheldys of bras,
and ioyned togidere with scalis ouerleiynge hem silf. |
His body is like molten shields,
shut close up with scales pressing upon one another. |
|

Una uni conjungitur,
et ne spiraculum quidem incedit per eas.
|
Oon is ioyned to another;
and sotheli brething goith not thorouy tho. |
One is joined to another,
and not so much as any air can come between them : |
|

Una alteri adhærebit,
et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur.

Oon schal cleue to anothir,
and tho holdynge hem silf schulen not be departid. |
They stick one to another
and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated. |

and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning. |

Laumpis comen forth of his mouth,
as trees of fier, that ben kyndlid. |
Out of his mouth go forth lamps,
like torches of lighted fire. |

sicut ollæ succensæ atque ferventis.

like that of a pot heated and boiling. |

et flamma de ore ejus egreditur.
|
His breeth makith colis to brenne,
and flawme goith out of his mouth. |
His breath kindleth coals,
and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth. |

In collo ejus morabitur fortitudo,
et faciem ejus præcedit egestas.

Strengthe schal dwelle in his necke,
and nedynesse schal go bifor his face. |
In his neck strength shall dwell,
and want goeth before his face. |

Membra carnium ejus cohærentia sibi:
mittet contra eum fulmina, et ad locum alium non ferentur.

Cum sublatus fuerit, timebunt angeli,
et territi purgabuntur.
|
Whanne he schal be takun awei, aungels schulen drede;
and thei aferd schulen be purgid. |
When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear,
and being affrighted shall purify themselves. |
|
| 17 |
Cum apprehenderit eum gladius, subsistere non poterit,
neque hasta, neque thorax:
|
Whanne swerd takith hym,
it may not stonde,
nethir spere, nether haburioun. |
When a sword shall lay at him,
it shall not be able to hold,
nor a spear, nor a breastplate. |

and he schal scorne a florischynge spere. |
As stubble will he esteem the hammer,
and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear. |

and he schal strewe to hym silf gold as cley. |
The beams of the sun shall be under him,
and he shall strew gold under him like mire. |

et ponet quasi cum unguenta bulliunt.

he is kyng ouer alle the sones of pride. |
He beholdeth every high thing,
he is king over all the children of pride. |
