The first matter

The salt of salts

Celestial water dissolves

The subtlest fluid sustains

The burning of sulphur

Squaring the circle

Spirit and matter

Driving the triumphal charlot

Scattering treasures for the world

Blackening to become whitened

Transmutation accomplished

Squaring the circle

Zero equals two

Aliquem alium intermum, quadratura circuli

The blood of the lion, the eagle's tears

Result in the stone of millions of years

Squaring the circle, solve et coagula

Omne superius sicut inferius
