Norton F. W. Hazeldine translation
Listen a moment whilst I quote from a book that no man wrote; it is from Mother Earth, so friends give ear, attend! attend! "It is you who knead and mould, not I, I'm but the plastic side of life, and thou the potter who doth spin this wheel of life continually." Thus, Oh Brothers and Sisters learn, who will while here give birth to child, Seek ye to mould it free from fear, seek ye to mould it strong and firm, let no thought its mind pervert, mould it true and fit for birth. Mould it friend, oh mother mould, in that likeness god of old, though thy name on earth is man, yet of that kingdom, prince!. A child divine art thou.
