Why, maiden, do you carry the youthful child? Did you bear forth a mighty bull who evolved? Long ago was the womb increased in autumn; behold the birth that the mother brought forth.
Young mother, what boy is this whom you, (become) a malevolent spirit, foster? The mighty (queen) has given him birth; the embryo has thrived through many years; I have seen him born as the mother brought him forth.
What child is this thou carriest as handmaid, O Youthful One? The Consort-Queen hath bome him. The Babe unborn increased through many autumns. I saw him born what time his Mother bare him.
