Then the Lord of<br>heaven lifted up His voice in wrath against mankind, and said:</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(ll. 1255-1262) &quot;Lo! I have not been unmindful of the sons of<br>men, but the tribe of Cain hath sorely angered Me. The sons of<br>Seth have stirred My wrath against them; they have taken them<br>wives from among the daughters of My foes. Woman's beauty and<br>woman's grace and the eternal fiend have taken hold upon this<br>people who dwelt of old in peace.&quot;</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(ll. 1263-1284) An hundred and twenty numbered winters in the<br>world that fated folk were busied in evil. Then the Lord<br>resolved to punish those faithless spirits, and slay the sinful<br>giant sons, undear to God, those huge, unholy scathers, loathsome<br>to the Lord. The King of victory beheld how great was the<br>wickedness of men on earth, and saw that they were bold in sin<br>and full of wiles. He resolved to bring destruction on the<br>tribes of men, and smite mankind with heavy hand. It repented<br>Him exceedingly that He had made man, and the first of men, when<br>He created Adam. He said that for the sins of men He would lay<br>waste the earth, and all that was upon the earth, destroying<br>every living thing that breathed the breath of life. All this<br>would the Lord destroy in the days that were coming on the sons<br>of men.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(ll. 1285-1295) But Noah, the son of Lamech, was good and dear to<br>God, exceeding blessed, just and meek. And the Lord knew that<br>virtue flourished in the heart of Noah. Wherefore God, the Holy<br>Lord of every creature, spake unto Noah, declaring His wrath and<br>vengeance on the sons of men. For He saw that the earth was full<br>of wickedness, and its broad and fertile meadows filled with sin<br>and defiled with uncleanness. And the Lord our God spake unto<br>Noah, and said:</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(ll. 1296-1313) &quot;I will destroy this people with a flood, man and<br>every living thing that the air and the seas bring forth and<br>nourish, birds of the air and beasts of the field. But thou, and<br>thy sons with thee, shall have mercy when the black waters, the<br>dark, destroying floods, shall overwhelm the hosts of sinful men.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Begin to build thee a ship, a mighty seahouse, and in it make<br>abiding-room for many, and set a rightful place for every tribe<br>of earth. Build floors within the ark, dividing it in stories.<br>And thou shalt build it three hundred cubits long and fifty<br>cubits wide and thirty cubits high, and fasten it firmly against<br>the might of the waves. And thou shalt take within the ark the<br>seed of every living thing, and the offspring of all flesh upon<br>the earth. And the ark must hold them all.&quot;</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(ll. 1314-1319) And Noah did according as God commanded him. He<br>hearkened unto the Holy King of heaven, and began straightway to<br>build the ark, a mighty sea-chest. And unto his kinsmen he<br>proclaimed destruction coming upon men, and bitter vengeance. <br>And they heeded him not.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">(ll. 1320-1326) Then after many winters the Faithful Lord beheld<br>the greatest of ocean-houses, Noah's vessel, towering up, made<br>tight with the best of pitch within and without against the<br>floods. And it was best of all its kind, growing more hard the<br>more the rough waves and the black sea-streams beat up against<br>it.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Caedmon">Caedmon</a><div class=q>
