The Marrying Virgin.
Undertakings bring misfortune.
Nothing that would further.
Thunder

Thunder over the lake:
The image of the Marrying Virgin.
Thus the superior one
Understands the transitory
In the light of the eternity of the end.

The embroidered garments of the princex
Are not as gorgeous

Brings good fortune.

The firm one stabs the sheep, but no blood flows.
Nothing that acts to further.
