1. This fantasy of ours belongs to people of rank
Generosity and giving belong to people of grace

2. It encompasses the arts of seriousness and jest
In the finest prose and came with wonder

3. So look at it, O acute understander
For in it is the slightest cause for knowledge

4. When one spokesman stood in it
Speaking for every watching, veiled person

5. I translated it, a phantom of imagination
That told of a crescent moon rising with humps

6. Through it, the ways of excellence are proven
So speak it, my lords, in gold
