1. Each excellence for each kind and genus
Without the mirror's excellence, no doubt exists

2. Refined in gentleness and pure transparency
It is as cash in hand to see and touch

3. Circled with splendid light until
Beholders thought it was a piece of the sun

4. It is the clearest brother revealing me
To myself and the closest friend providing my intimacy

5. And if my companion moves apart from me
My gaze remains with it, conversing with my soul
