At two bow-lengths, rise, O friend, and shoot an arrow,
With my bow curved in a crescent, arise O archer and loose thy arrow,
if you are bold and noble-hearted in battle against the foes.
If thou be foremost in the battle's van 'gainst the foe's serried rank,

And grasp the meanings of creation’s letters with the keenest understanding.
And understand the meaning of God's words with clearest understanding,
And lift the mask of reason, and pierce the veil of illusion.
Uncover the mask of ignorance, rend asunder the veil of fancy's dream.
Sol 6.1
