Who should remember and say, " We are his descendants." 

 Now may they continue so to be, 

 Oh you who were born of Earth, 

 Oh you who dwell in the sky! 



So now another. 



The people are speaking; 



They are continuing from the commencement of creation 



Discussing those things that you didst think would be a benefit to 



men-beings, 

 Oh you who were born of Earth, 

 Oh you who dwell in the sky ! 



Now the birds that inhabit the air. 



Birds from the low world to the great birds, 



Birds that float above the clouds. 



All these you did think would be a benefit to mankind. 



Oh you who were born of Earth, 



Oh you who dwell in the sky ! 



Now we ask that this thought should be forever 



Even as long as earth endures. 



Now again the smoke arises, 



Continue to listen as you inhale this incense, 



For we are discussing the things of your creation 



That you did think should be a benefit to mankind. 



Oh you who were born of Earth, 



Oh you who dwell in the sky ! 



Now you did think that there should be a world and that it should 



become cold, 

 At a recurring season become cold again. 

 Now we implore thee that it should not be too great a cold 

 And likewise when the earth becomes warm again, 

 That the heat should be moderate and comfortable. 

 Now again the smoke arises 

 To you who were born of Earth, 

 To you who dwell in the sky! 



So now another. 



Continue to listen! 



You did think that there should be a wind 



And that it should be a help to the world.
