- Tahuti speaketh in the Light.
- Knowledge and Power, twin Warriors, shake
- The Invisible; They roll asunder
- The Darkness; Matter shines, a Snake.

- The Light breaks forth from Under.
-
- O Thou, the Apex of the Plane,
- With Ibis Head and Phoenix Wand
- And Wings of Night! Whose Serpents strain

- Art One, above Their moving might!
-
- The Lustral Water! Smite thy Flood
- Through me -Lymph, Marrow and Blood!
-
- The Fire Informing! Let the Oil
- Balance, assain, assoil!
-
- So Life takes Fire from Death, and runs
- Whirling amid the Suns.
- Hail, Asi! Pace the Path, bind on
- The Girdle of the Starry One!
-
- Homage to Thee, Lord of the Word!
- Lord of the Silence, Homage to Thee!
