Plain text of Book 19, Hymn 26

Gold, which came forth from the earth by God's will and is a provision from Him, hath been deposited with mortal creatures. He who knows this deserves to own this jewel, and in extreme old age dies he who wears it.

2 The men of ancient time with children round them longed for this gold, bright with the sun's own colour. This shall endow thee, as it shines, with splendour, and long shall be the life of him who wears it.

3 Long life and splendour let it bring, bring energy and strength to thee, that thou mayst shine among the folk with all the brightness of the gold.

4 What God the All-Seeing King knows well, and what God the Lord of Prayer, and God the Mighty, Slayer of the foe, may that bestow long life on thee, may that increase thy splendid strength.
