5 Happily let the shares turn up the ploughland, the ploughers happily follow the oxen.

Pleased with our offering, O ploughshare and plough! make the plants bring this man abundant produce.

6 Happily work our steers and men! May the plough furrow happily.

Happily be the traces bound. Happily ply the driving-goad.

7 Ploughshare and plough, welcome ye this praise, and with the milk that God hath made in heaven

Bedew ye both this earth of ours.

8 Auspicious Furrow, come thou near: we praise God, who gave thee,

That thou mayst bless and prosper us and bring us fruits abundantly.

9 Loved by the angels and the winds, let the Furrow be bedewed with oil and honey.

Turn thou to us with wealth of milk, O Furrow, in vigorous strength and pouring streams of fatness.
