Mother of all, eldest of all beings.
She feeds all creatures that are in the world,
All that go upon the goodly land,
And all that are in the paths of the seas,
And all that fly; all these are fed of her store.
Through you, O queen, men are blessed in their children
And blessed in their harvests,
And t you it belongs to give means of life
To mortal men and to take it away.
