1 As the Sun rises let thy sore disease and yellowness depart. By God's leave we compass and surround thee with the colour of a ruddy ox.

2 With ruddy hues we compass thee that thou mayst live a lengthened life: so that this man be free from harm, and cast his yellow tint away.

3 Creatures that are red of hue, yea, and the ruddy-coloured kine, each several form, each several age, with these we compass thee about.

4 To parrots and to starlings we transfer thy sickly yellowness: now in the yellow-coloured birds we lay this yellowness of thine.
