Omen

When the divine portion began to fade away

and became diluted too often and too much with the mortal admixture

and the human nature got the upper hand

they then, being unable to bear their fortune, behaved unseemly

and in a single day and night of misfortune all your warlike men

in a body sank into the earth, and the island of Atlantis in like

manner disappeared into the depths of the sea
