1 First, before all, the strong-winged Bird was born; thou wast the gall thereof. Conquered in fight, the Darkness took then the shape and form of plants.

2 The Darkness made, first of all, this medicine for leprosy, this banisher of leprosy. She banished leprosy, and gave one general colour to the skin.

3 One-coloured is thy mother's name, One-coloured is thy father called: One-colour-maker, Plant! art thou: give thou one colour to this man.

4 The healing Plant who gives one general hue was formed and fashioned from the earth: further this work efficiently. Restore the colours that were his.
