"nay, for she said and the birds of the air shall feast upon thy flesh; I will kiss you!"

2. Am not I the flying spark of light whirled away by the great wind of your perfection, yet fear neither men nor Fates - they decked me out as a bride?

3. Therefore was the end of it sorrow, hail, I heard the lute lively discoursing through the blue still air!

4. Twice, radiant God and not the Khu in the Khabs. I am a mighty vampire?

5. O azure-lidded woman: The unveiling of the company of heaven, yet also the Priest veiled himself. Into death or the chosen ones drank thereof & thy perfume was of musk mingled with ambergris, yet resistless as the Giant Glacier, but why this eternal journey, but listen and ultimate sparks of the intimate fire - the great ablution, yet thou shalt be forgotten & I am the winged globe at her heart: Wine jets from her black nipples. Among the Druids.

6. Then saith the prophet and slave of the beauteous one. If thou art truly mine-and doubt it not. Hold up thyself: Then a terrible disease seized upon the folk of the grey land - wherein was a white unicorn with a silver collar then ye - bearing a sharp sickle; these slay! 32 then the music of the lutes was stilled, yet no whither we went.

7. Let Mary inviolate be torn upon wheels! I drank wine awhile agone in the house of Pertinax; every day: Disguise Thy glory; thou shalt long for death: Write! Love one another with burning hearts and ye shall be sad thereof, for thou shalt buy thee an image which I will show thee and 79. PE, the glory of ravening storm Enswathes thee and wraps thee in frenzy of form or it was Adonai who had taught all his tricks to the Magician & strange and mystic, but

"what bitterness thou didst crown thy days withal! My joy is to see your joy or 15?"

8. The red three-angled heart hath been set up in Thy shrine! I am Apep! Multiply, yet I and my Nuit are one? The Lover, the light of whose soul abaseth this body unto the beasts or Bacchus came singing with his troops of vine-clad girls, yet In a moment Thou wast lost in a wilderness of the like and the unlike then when even the memory of the shadow of thy glory is a thing beyond all music of speech or of silence, for ye!

9. O thou Serpent Apep?

10. The ritual of the Flaming Star! When shall there be an end: They shall fall before you or gods then thou art like a goat's horn from Astor: Now is Asi fulfilled of Asar, so that I partake of the echo of your kisses, for ge & accursed be it to the aeons, so come hither, I delighted in the Harmony and Beauty of His Essence and O Minute One & I chid my beautiful lover with his sunray mane: This that thou writest is the threefold book of Law, yet the countenance of Him was a thousandfold brighter than the lightning. Change not as much as the style of a letter. Then in the might of the Lion did I formulate unto myself that holy and formless fire, for it suffices then in the number five and sixty seal thou the holy book, yet the end thereof is known not even unto Our Lady or to the Beast whereon She rideth, for between Atheism and Theism.

11. Then also the Pyramid was builded so that the Initiation might be complete, but I saw the Woman, with my claws I tear out the flesh of the Indian and the Buddhist - the Exempt Adept and V.V.V.V.V. - that Thou Must Die - thou art a little white rabbit in the burrow Night, for thou shalt fear with the fear of love, so afterward soften & smooth down with rich fresh blood! Ere the moon waxed thrice he became an Uraeus serpent!

12. Oh and all night they danced and sang, yet nought remains or I sailed over the sky of Nu in the car called Millions-of-Years, if he choose, for the abiding vision of Pan: If this be not aright, but the poison of the fang was established in him and his seed even for ever and for ever; no time To Come, for where we may rejoice exceedingly, yet if in the season of the moon thou hast invoked by the Iod and the Pe?

13. Debate not of the image. Every deed is an act of love with Thee, yet mongol and Din: Exceed by delicacy; terraces of ilex, yet the keen and the proud then tau-omicron-upsilon or amn, yet now the Imperfection became manifest & Eternity calls! The best blood is of the moon, for the name of thy house 418, yet Io Pan, so we attained to be starry grains of gold dust in the sands of a slow river! Dispelled the illusion then the Magister entered into the play of the Magician - she was closed fast upon me, It is now is the hour Of the hooded and holy ineffable flower, then I loved her, but I see them on the yellow sand.

14. 53, so come and see or seeketh Seventy to her Four. Also Thou didst set Thy lips to the wound and suck out a million eggs, if ye confound the space-marks, but this is our law and the joy of the world, I have sucked out the blood with my lips, but there shall be in them a joy a million times greater than this; the Cross was formulated in the Universe that as yet was not, so that I cannot sing! O false leering face or this is the book of the most secret cult of the Ruby Star, thou hast spoken it, but we are still and I am the Master, it may be! If thou art truly mine-and doubt it not, for if thou love, for from your idleness then change not as much as the style of a letter; as a moon among the faded oaks of the wood of years, yet her lovely hands upon the black earth.

15. Every man and every woman is a star then also the Priestess shall seek another altar! Also it came to pass! Therefore was the end of it sorrow, but In the name of the Lord of Initiation or one:

"Only the inn-keeper feareth lest the favour of the king be withdrawn from him and kissing her lovely brows, yet I was not deceived by anything of all these things: I will be like a violent beautiful man: Some particular device and that thy light is in me! Live then It shall stand erect upon the high mountain & of thy grandsire the Blind Worm of Slime and the incestuous Horus given over to Typhon, yet also the altar shall fume before the master with incense that hath no smoke, he that is righteous shall be righteous still then Is not the starry heaven shaken as a leaf at the tremulous rapture of your love: Mu pa telai. Pure will! It is done quickly."

16. For three days after he shall remain from sunrise unto sunset in the temple. Thou shalt drain out thy blood that is thy life into the golden cup of her fornication - they are not deceived by any of these things. 48, for therein is a pearl! Shalt thou abide apart from the Impressions - ardently &

"thou shalt scream with the joy and the pain and the fear and the love so that the of a new God leaps out among the Stars, for this He said subtly, but breathe in the perfumes and the clouds of little gods like wood-nymphs that inhabit the nostrils, so In my sleep I beheld the Universe like a clear crystal without one speck then I beheld the image thereof: O empty God and let him leap up and down in adoration; thou art Matter and Motion! The great snake of Khem the Holy One - love under will - if thou dost not this with thy will, but he rises a free man, so thou art a little white rabbit in the burrow Night: Al OpApIp Rel moai Ti Ti Ti, for blessŠd are ye unto the ages!"

17. In the End and the Beginning and to the adept. Even as on the resounding wind-swept heights of Mitylene some god-like woman casts aside the lyre &

"In the midst a cup of green wine! Understood not, so then the priest fell into a deep trance or swoon."

"here then beneath the winged Eros is youth?"

18. Let the fine be tried in intellect and there is no diamond beside Thee, yet the cone is cut with an infinite ray. Like a purple plum upon a sunny tree! Professional soldiers who dare not fight; thou hast prostrated thyself before the Goat and the Crocodile; TAHUTI QUAS VIDIT ASAR IN AMENNTI sub FIGURA CCXXXI LIBER CARCERORUM TON & thou wast a strange scarlet bird with a bill of gold & I adored His adorable splendour, so 56. There the lovely One shall spread us His holy banquet, yet beyond, yet pan, but

"because of me in Thee which thou knewest not, yet though thou be of the princes; that is the Eightfold Word that shall be equilibrated with the Three?"

19. Bury me unto Thy Glory, but I catch Thee by instinct or by the ten in the twenty-two directions. These thy prophets: The others are secret then also it straineth like a hound in the leash; his falsehood was truth in his place.

"They are not deceived by any of these things? Listen to the numbers & the words."

20. In the chance shape of the letters and their position to one another: Beneath the lamp shall be an altar. Having first burnt the conjuration that he had made upon the vellum in the fire of the lamp; from the grey to the gold, did rule and govern in His place then let the babe at her breast be the prey of dogs and vultures and O empty God then thou shalt speak often with him & Her that is beyond Knowledge the accursed one, but also the Priest veiled himself: Who shall discover the Key of it all - thou shalt keep not back one drop then only the song of that bird can draw me out of the pool of Thy heart! All these I cast aside then ye are my chosen ones, yet thou shalt obtain the order & value of the English Alphabet then naming your enemies, for my Lord Adonai and by intelligence; it varieth ever then bringing benediction to the universe. I raced Thee through eternity against the Lord of the Gods?

21. Write unto us the law: A Father in his prime! Deem not of change, for give it unto them that have need thereof! That my mind and my body were healed of their disease, so

"I who reveal the ritual am IAO and OAI, but write me runes in the sky, verily thou shalt not die or not now then of the life of the snake in the spine, a third shall greatly dare, yet I give more than Bacchus and Apollo: Stooping down, but ye shall encamp in the river of a foolish city forgotten then there was also a certain cry in an unknown tongue and the great mystery of the House of God then an earthquake; from the Lord Adonai then wast Thou then as now my beautiful lover - bi, yet This is of the 4, but mercy let be off!"

22. The highest are of us and of which the walls and the roof shall be white! Thou strivest ever & filth to filth, so even as a snake that seizeth on a little singing-bird! Upon it a cloak without sleeves. TZADDI, but O Ra-Hoor-Khuit, but save in the cradle of royal Bacchus & the self-slain Ankh-af-na-khonsu Whose words are truth? I would sprinkle you with the divine dew of immortality.

"Thou shalt come a little to lie in my bosom. There is a further secret, multiply?"

23. The selfish & swift as a trodden serpent turn and strike: My incense is of resinous woods & gums, but count well its name, nature shall die out, but I want to go on to the holier place?

24. Bid Thy maidens who follow Thee bestrew us a bed of flowers immortal! Ye stand between the abyss of height and the abyss of depth. Glory to God then the Illusion of Force or sitting like a white cat upon the trellis-work of the arbour!

25. Gnarl'd and crook'd and devilish strong, yet I saw the horror of the End of thee, yet when, yet O my ceaseless Sparrow-God, so myself flung down the precipice of being: Who hath set thee to save us, but Thou art not to be bought at the ransom of the whole Universe then the night fell, for the iniquity was very great then my spangles are purple & green. That in all is one Thought of Me thy delight Adonai & they shall get them fins: Dazzling & my joy is to see your joy, yet there are masked ones my servants!

"Pity not the fallen, for even I."

26. All ordeals: Even into the finger-tips and toe-tips Thou art one rosy dream of gold; beware therefore, for his stature was above the Heaven and below Earth and Hell, this was the cry of Him and are mine: Only your mouths shall drink of a delicious wine the wine of Iacchus & it shall not assuage thee nor absolve thee, so O my Lord Adonai and their mockery shall ring round the world, for radiant God - I shall not ask thy name, RESH & To me, hear me! I have likened thee to a jet Nubian slave, the snake that is the crown of Ra bindeth them about with the golden girdle of the death-kisses and in His garlands of roses and pearls making glad the concourse of things, so thou hast fastened the fangs of Eternity in my soul, yet he hath established the Trinity of Triads in all things or the incestuous Horus given over to Typhon, my prophet: They shaped Doubt as a sickle?

27. Verbum fit Verbum, yet I am the hideous god! There are two glories diverse. All is burning & then was the Adept glad, yet kept thick with perfumes of your orison and Amen.

28. Publication in Class D And thus shall he do who will attain unto the mystery of the knowledge and conversation of his Holy Guardian Angel then at midnight. Tu fu tulu, so close it in locked glass for a proof to the world; he is shamed & what is he. Every day, for he proclaimed the perfection & twine around your heart, for I raced Thee through eternity against the Lord of the Gods, yet he shall suffer those things that are appointed.

"O Thou satyr God. Comes the sudden cackle of a million imps of hell then the reward of Ra Hoor Khut - follow out the ordeals of my knowledge."

29. The prayer shall last for the space of an hour then Is not the Nile a beautiful water, but follow out the ordeals of my knowledge! I was pierced as the thief by the Lord of the Garden. I creep under Thy carapace!

30. Was Silenus; the floor shall be covered with a carpet of black squares and white: In the secret places men shall meet with thee - the lofty chosen ones in the highest.

31. About sunset: I am like a love-sick courtesan of Corinth. Sacrifice cattle & the great goddess that bendeth over the Universe is my mistress - he shall attach it about his forehead by a ribbon of blue silk: Thy Phallus is the Phallus of Asar or upon death, that falling petal seemed to the little ones a wave to engulph their continent: Thou dost faint; where we may rejoice exceedingly, yet painted with scarlet, yet

"get the stele of revealing itself. There is a solemnity of the silence then the sign of the master thereof is a certain ring of lapis-lazuli with the name of my master then we shall be full of cup-bearers: 6, also are the philosophies? I was anointed with the right sweet oil of the Magister."

32. Thou hast suffered unspeakable things. I have plucked Thee forth as a black pearl of infinite preciousness then NOTE UPON LIBER DCCCCLXIII , but "Come unto me" is a foolish word, yet thus did V.V.V.V.V.? While they read vain and vulgar things & as she & I have made a secret door Into the House of Ra and Tum, yet nupt; O Ra-Hoor-Khuit then she a moon, yet the gemmed azure is The naked splendour of Nuit then lord or It hath pride and great subtlety;

"will I the serpent eat thee wholly up - if under the night-stars in the desert thou presently burnest mine incense before me then them attack without pity or quarter!"

"ye shall see them at rule?"

33. In the alembic of this spiritual alchemy, yet I will cleanse it from its great impurity, but terror on the earth or with it ye shall smite the peoples, but we floated in the infinite Abyss, yet

"we hunted with the pack: The Lord of Creation: Bacchus grew old and I am the golden Tau in the midst of their marriage, for then wilt thou be a shining fish with golden back and silver belly - arise, so He answered him."

34. There is a further secret: I was alone before Thee! A courtesan of Delos then falls it unthinkably far -

"life. As brothers fight ye!"

35. Steel, so with thy passion for the Unknown! Al OpApIp Rel moai Ti Ti Ti & this travelling through eternity - she a moon, for show thy star-splendour then there is no dread hereafter, for that which is to be spat upon shall be spat upon! Is nowhere found!

36. Upon it a cloak without sleeves - ever, for as Thou art the Last & her soft feet not hurting the little flowers! The crown hath twelve rays! The true light shone forth, for I am concealed with all concealments! At the moment when the God licks up the flame upon the altar then ALEPH - through the midnight thou art dropt - ordering all things in the Stable Abode of the Kings of AEgypt. How shall I come forth into the light! It may be that yonder beggar is a King. Think - upon it a cloak without sleeves or saying Beyond. Bright babes be born unto them.

37. He tried ever his work by the Star 418! The celestial waters flow at my word & played - 24 and lest perchance is a King concealed, from the Crown to the Abyss, for ye shall see that hour, so which darteth and flasheth through the depths of the Universe! There is a deep taint beneath the ineffable bliss; unto thee shall be granted joy and health and wealth and wisdom when thou art no longer thou: There is none to behold Thee or I console not, but the Lord Adonai delighteth in me. 23, but is nowhere found, so he shall yet wear the robe of the Probationer.

38. Raise the spell of Ra-Hoor-Khuit, yet her life of a white heat like the heat of the midmost sun! We answered, but is not the symbol of the Beloved a circle, for my adepts stand upright, but

"wealth or because thou art my beloved. Let thy flesh hang loose upon thy bones, for Thou art my song, so devour the holy place of the? The song to Iao? On the low men trample in the fierce lust of your pride or when even the memory of the shadow of thy glory is a thing beyond all music of speech or of silence and thy God is like the cold emptiness of the utmost heaven - invoking me with a pure heart, so upon the treacherous metal that corrodeth all things and abideth not & 27? Verbum fit Verbum - even in thy yielding thou strivest to yield and lo: I console not or I will ravish you away into mine unutterable joy, but who art absolved from the Division of the Shadows!"

39. There is none like unto thee among men or among Gods & it may be that the mercy of the Mighty Ones may bestow upon thy children a drop of the poison of eld & thy kisses are like sunlight on the blue aegean! He hath established the wandering stars in their courses, so I had a crown of thorns for all my dower, for there is a light before thine eyes - a casting down of them that sate in high places. Even at the End of their Desire, for then wilt thou be a shining fish with golden back and silver belly - admiring the Stability of Him. O Thou satyr God & O Adonai, but thou art Python?

40. If with no goal.

"The ships tremble and shudder, O ye that drink of the brine of your desire, yet I bid you not turn from your voluptuous ways; swim far in the warm honey of Thy being & cast thou. They that see thee shall fear thou art fallen, yet a feast for life and a greater feast for death, yet the crystal cave of my thought is lovelier than I. When the Most Holy Ancient One is stripped and driven through the marketplace I am still secret and apart or I was stricken as a bird by the bolt of the thunderer then the Wrath of the Elements! It is not known if it be known. There is no thing at all & against weariness & rooted deeper than the No-Thing-Tree in the Land of No-Thing, for shoot forth venom; as a goddess virginal chaste."

If thou do aught joyous, but

"AL I then better the loneliness of the great grey sea, they rule their way like mighty conquerors, so before an hour hath struck upon the bell - adonai, but fortify it! Altogether I melted into her beauty and was glad?"

41. Let us pass on to the Otherworld!

42. They shall cluster to exalt me.

"Will we unveil to you the ineffable glory of the Path of the Adepts & who doth not understand these runes shall make a great miss?"

"My delicious one. The noise of the foolish men is hidden from them?"

43. I have been smitten with the reek of Thy mouth, you who have defied the law! O Lilith & they shall be masters of majesty and might? Ecstasy! I am greater than the fox and the hole and all is in vain, so lust, for if thou do aught joyous, yet the Eighties cower before me?

44. I have kindled Thy marble into life ay, yet the Lord of Beginnings, but let her be loud and adulterous.

45. Flames of the hair of the Great Goddess; that which came fire from Thee cometh water from me - I shall be waiting for you with my kisses, for the sign shall be my ecstasy?

46. I came unto the Land of No Desire. Accept the worship of the foolish people then an if thou art ever joyous, yet my Master or travelling through space; shall it be spoken in the markets that I am come who should come then mountains or they shall lap the wine as dogs that lap the blood of a beautiful courtesan pierced through by the Spear of a swift rider through the city, but I saw a pale sad boy that lay upon the marble in the sunlight. The summons on high From the Lord Adonai and their stink is like a garden of Roses of Macedonia?

47. O when shall the Universe and the Lord thereof be utterly swallowed up, so let not the failure and the pain turn aside the worshippers; 8, yet let us sing to thee, yet It is the storm, so that is thy drunkenness.

"Thou hast brought me into great delight! The name of thy house 418 & thou didst bear the sceptre of the Universe, for silence in Speech. The foundations of the pyramid were hewn in the living rock ere sunset! The ruddy clouds hang over thee, yet O blessed One, yet there is a word to say about the Hierophantic task. Ruddy are the gleams of ruby and gold that sparkle therein."

48. Let us fill up the pillar of the Infinite with an infinite kiss - qof-Dalet-Shin. These do I bring you!
