The generic law of the Whole was the first Intelligence of all

The second [creation?] was the poured-forth Chaos of the First-born

And the third and labouring soul obtains the law as her portion

Wherefore clothed in watery form [Behold]

The loved one subject to toil [and] death

Now, having lordship, she beholds the Light

Then cast forth to piteous state, she weeps.

Now she weeps and now rejoices

Now she weeps and now is judged

Now she is judged and now is dying
