English

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said, “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read,
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
“My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings.
Look on my works ye Mighty, and despair!”
No thing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that Colossal Wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Νῖλουγκτου κρίνιον αυ ρεῖβινησσι λάνδης,
Πεῖς σέπτ, „Ϝῖ χλίτανης άπε αμβόνι λὺγκης κόξης
Τῆντι εν μὴσσι.” νέσσις σίνδον, γρε τράχτι,
Σὰντροσες τονήζοσες, τρούξηκοσες χρίχτος λέγετι, ζῶ αγκρούντϝος,
Άπε κρίξητιος ϝεύλος, άπε ώγρι ντὲλϝονι γυγνϝός,
Ϝεῖδοντι ζῶν σνάδιος δάγης γρίσψι σίνδης ποινὴς,
Πεῖς δῆνοντι ὲσκε, βάσσης γρε σίνδον ανὰνζον ρέντον,
Χλῆμης πεῖς ρὸγκτ εῖς, άπε κρίζι πίδ έστ:
Άπε γρε πιεδεστάλι σίνδοι γῆροι ϝέλοντο:
„Μοί άγμαν έσσι Οσυμανδύης, Ρῖγον Ρῖξ.
Δρέκετις μοί σαίτρι Κὸντηκιοι, άπε ζιαλὶτις!”
