Qvæsiui: inueni: purgaui sæpius: atque
Coniunxi: maturaui: Tinctura secuta est
Aurea, Naturæ centrum quæ dicitur: inde
Tot sensus, tot scripta virum, variæque figuræ.
Omnibus, ingenue fateor, Medicina metallis;
Infirmisque simul: punctum diuinitus ortum.

Epigram to the Sons of Wisdom and Learning.

I sought: I found: I purified often: and joined: I matured: The Golden Tincture followed, which is said to be the center of Nature: from there so many senses, so many writings of men, and various figures. To all, I confess openly, [it is] the medicine to metals; and to the weak at the same time: a point divinely originated.
