AFRICA	A
	-
I will sing you a song of Los the Eternal Prophet	B
He sung it to four harps at the tables of Eternity	C
In heart formed Africa	A
Urizen faded Ariston shudderd	C
And thus the Song began	D
	-
Adam stood in the garden of Eden	E
And Noah on the mountains of Ararat	C
They saw Urizen give his Laws to the Nations	F
By the hands of the children of Los	G
	-
Adam shudderd Noah faded black grew the sunny African	E
When Rintrah gave Abstract Philosophy to Brama in the East	C
Night spoke to the Cloud	C
Lo these Human form'd spirits in smiling hipocrisy War	H
Against one another so let them War on slaves to the eternal Elements	I
Noah shrunk beneath the waters	J
Abram fled in fires from Chaldea	C
Moses beheld upon Mount Sinai forms of dark delusion	E
	-
To Trismegistus Palamabron gave an abstract Law	K
To Pythagoras Socrates Plato	C
	-
Times rolled on o'er all the sons of Har time after time	L
Orc on Mount Atlas howld chain'd down with the Chain of Jealousy	C
Then Oothoon hoverd over Judah Jerusalem	M
And Jesus heard her voice a man of sorrows he recievd	C
A Gospel from wretched Theotormon	E
	-
The human race began to wither for the healthy built	C
Secluded places fearing the joys of Love	N
And the disease'd only propagated	C
So Antamon call'd up Leutha from her valleys of delight	C
And to Mahomet a loose Bible gave	O
But in the North to Odin Sotha gave a Code of War	H
Because of Diralada thinking to reclaim his joy	P
	-
These were the Churches Hospitals Castles Palaces	Q
Like nets gins traps to catch the joys of Eternity	C
And all the rest a desart	C
Till like a dream Eternity was obliterated erased	C
	-
Since that dread day when Har and Heva fled	C
Because their brethren sisters liv'd in War Lust	C
And as they fled they shrunk	R
Into two narrow doleful forms	S
Creeping in reptile flesh upon	E
The bosom of the ground	C
And all the vast of Nature shrunk	R
Before their shrunken eyes	T
	-
Thus the terrible race of Los Enitharmon gave	O
Laws Religions to the sons of Har binding them more	H
And more to Earth closing and restraining	U
Till a Philosophy of Five Senses was complete	C
Urizen wept gave it into the hands of Newton Locke	V
	-
Clouds roll heavy upon the Alps round Rousseau Voltaire	W
And on the mountains of Lebanon round the deceased Gods	X
Of Asia on the deserts of Africa round the Fallen Angels	Y
The Guardian Prince of Albion burns in his nightly tent	C
	-
	-
ASIA	A
	-
The Kings of Asia heard	C
The howl rise up from Europe	Z
And each ran out from his Web	A2
From his ancient woven Den	E
For the darkness of Asia was startled	C
At the thick flaming thought creating fires of Orc	V
	-
And the Kings of Asia stood	C
And cried in bitterness of soul	B2
	-
Shall not the King call for Famine from the heath	C2
Nor the Priest for Pestilence from the fen	E
To restrain to dismay to thin	E
The inhabitants of mountain and plain	E
In the day of full feeding prosperity	C
And the night of delicious songs	D2
	-
Shall not the Councellor throw his curb	E2
Of Poverty on the laborious	F2
To fix the price of labour	G2
To invent allegoric riches	Q
	-
And the privy admonishers of men	E
Call for fires in the City	C
For heaps of smoking ruins	F
In the night of prosperity wantonness	F
	-
To turn man from his path	H2
To restrain the child from the womb	I2
	-
To cut off the bread from the city	C
That the remnant may learn to obey	J2
That the pride of the heart may fail	K2
That the lust of the eyes may be quench'd	C
That the delicate ear in its infancy	C
	-
May be dull'd and the nostrils clos'd up	Z
To teach mortal worms the path	H2
That leads from the gates of the Grave	O
	-
Urizen heard them cry	L2
And his shudd'ring waving wings	F
Went enormous above the red flames	F
Drawing clouds of despair thro' the heavens	F
Of Europe as he went	C
And his Books of brass iron gold	C
Melted over the land as he flew	M2
	-
Heavy waving howling weeping	V
	-
And he stood over Judea	C
And stay'd in his ancient place	F
And stretch'd his clouds over Jerusalem	M
	-
For Adam a mouldering skeleton	E
Lay bleach'd on the garden of Eden	E
And Noah as white as snow	E
On the mountains of Ararat	C
	-
Then the thunders of Urizen bellow'd aloud	C
From his woven darkness above	N
	-
Orc raging in European darkness	F
Arose like a pillar of fire above the Alps	F
Like a serpent of fiery flame	N2
The sullen Earth	O2
Shrunk	V
	-
Forth from the dead dust rattling bones to bones	F
Join shaking convuls'd the shivring clay breathes	F
And all flesh naked stands Fathers and Friends	F
Mothers Infants Kings Warriors	F
	-
The Grave shrieks with delight shakes	F
Her hollow womb clasps the solid stem	P2
Her bosom swells with wild desire	Q2
And milk blood glandous wine	E
