��Likewise do we beg forgiveness of our golden Morning Star who belongeth beneath the east. He will stretch unto us his hand so that, wrapping ourselves in it, no sickness may come upon us because we have meddled here unbidden. Therefore do we beseech that he will put to flight the heat. Then they will not sicken us, they who are called Chanes who are seated hereabouts in the waters guarding those that are called the rainbows.
Thus do I give you to know, my spirits. Hail! thou who art my Guide, my Morning Star. He will reach me his hand, that no ill may befall me. So be it! Know, O my Lord, that I do continually implore thee.
