1I SAW thee meditating in thy spirit what sprang from Fervour and hath thence developed.     Bestowing offspring here, bestowing riches, spread in thine offspring, thou who cravest children.

2I saw thee pondering in thine heart, and praying that in due time thy body might be fruitful.     Come as a youthful woman, rise to meet me: spread in thine offspring, thou who cravest children.

3In plants and herbs, in all existent beings I have deposited the germ of increase.     All progeny on earth have I engendered, and sons in women who will be hereafter.
