To you, O powerful herbs, this is my prayer,
and to the parent who gifted all of you
to all [of us], her majesty the engendering Earth.
Unto you she willed her majesty,
and curative remedies to be of use
and dependable help to every kind of person.
I am a suppliant. This is my plea. Come swiftly
with your potencies to this place! For she
who begat [you] gave me leave to harvest you,
and he to whom the healer's art was given
also approves. With kindly remedy
support well-being's cause, to the maximum
capacity of your powers. Grace me with them, I pray,
so that whatever I make of you,
or whomever I may treat, you take effect quickly
and lead to beneficial results. [I pray] that I
always be licensed to harvest you............
and give thanks to you, and credit you with the outcome,
in the name of the Mother who commanded you to be born.
