Virgil's Messianic Eclogue

Now, a great new age is coming; A boy will be sent down from heaven, who will have the life of the gods he will see the gods, and he will seem like him to those men. This boy will rule the world in which the virtuous men of this land will get peace. A few evil men, however, will remain, which men will order under the yoke and would wage harsh war . There also there will be another war, and also the Great Achilles being sent to the Troy. Then, the boy will have been for a long time where you men, there will be no work, no war, and the sailor come in from the sea, and the farmers as well will leave behind their farms, and the earth will prepare itself for all people everywhere. Rush, time; begin little boy, know your mother, and enough spirit inside me to say your deeds.

Terrific job.

You broke up that last sentence which I did, too.

Thank you for the confidence.
