==Translation==<br />
<br />
<pre><br />
I saw a creature with its stomach behind<br />
And greatly swollen. A servant grasped it,<br />
A mighty man, whose muscles laboured<br />
'Til that which filled it flew from its eye.<br />
It did not die, disgorged of it contents<br />
Given to others, but got back again<br />
Health to its breast, Its breath hallowed.<br />
From its father it formed a son.<br />
<br />
