  52. <p id="d118e2310">Listen! This sepulchre is a message
  53. <br>Within a web of warnings.
  54. <br>We sent this warning,
  55. <br>A baleful, urgent message.
  56. <br>We thought our people
  57. <br>Exceedingly powerful, a great generation.</p>
  58. <p id="d118e2323">Here is no honourable deed commemorated,
  59. <br>Nor ancient treasure buried
  60. <br>Nor high seat of honor nor festival ground.
  61. <br>We feared and hated what is here. </p>
  62. <p id="d118e2333">This dire message warns
  63. <br>That deathly fire grows greater
  64. <br>Towards the middle;
  65. <br>Right here is the center.
  66. <br>We hid it in the darkness of the earth.
  67. <br>It has height and length.</p>
  68. <p id="d118e2346">The deadly power still dwells here
  69. <br>Now, just as in our time.
  70. <br>The danger threatens the body
  71. <br>And may kill
  72. <br>The malice glows,
  73. <br>Broadening outwards.
  74. <br>If you dig and disturb
  75. <br>You will unbind great misery.</p>
  76. <p id="d118e2364">Shun this tomb
  77. <br>And leave it uninhabited.</p>
