| The first matter, | |
| The salt of salts, | |
| Celestial water dissolves | |
| The subtlest fluid sustains | |
| The burning of sulphur. | |
| Squaring the circle, | |
| Spirit and matter | |
| Driving the triumphal charlot, | |
| Scattering treasures for the world | |
| Blackening to become whitened, | |
| Transmutation accomplished. | |
| Squaring the circle, | |
| Zero equals two | |
| Aliquem alium intermum, quadratura circuli | |
| The blood of the lion, the eagle's tears, | |
| Result in the stone of millions of years. | |
| Squaring the circle, solve et coagula | |
| Omne superius sicut inferius |
