1 From thee we banish and expel the cause of thy sterility.

This in another place we lay apart from thee and far removed.

2 As arrow to the quiver, so may a male child be given thee.

Then from thy side be born a babe, a ten-month child, thy hero son.

3 Bring forth a male, bring forth a son. Another male shall follow him.

The mother shalt thou be of sons born and hereafter to be born.

4 With that auspicious genial flow wherewith steers propagate their kind,

Do thou obtain thyself a son: be thou a fruitful mother-cow.

5 May God give thee power to bear a child: within thee pass the germ of life!

Obtain a son, O woman, who shall be a blessing unto thee. Be thou a blessing unto him.

6 May those healing herbs which God sends down from heaven, which grow from the earth and are nourished by the waters,

May those healing Plants assist thee to obtain a son.
