"Pada masa-masa saleh, sebelum kerajinan imam dimulai, Sebelum poligami dijadikan dosa; Ketika manusia, pada banyak orang, melipatgandakan jenisnya, Ere satu lawan satu dikutuk: Ketika Alam meminta, dan tidak ada Hukum yang melarang penggunaan selir dan pengantin perempuan secara Promiscuous; Kemudian, raja Israel, setelah hati Surga sendiri, kehangatan-Nya yang kuat memberikan berbagai macam hal kepada para istri dan budak: dan, selebar perintahnya, Menyebarkan citra Penciptanya melalui tanah."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

In pious times, ere priest-craft did begin, Before polygamy was made a sin; When man, on many, multipli'd his kind, Ere one to one was cursedly confin'd: When Nature prompted, and no Law deni'd Promiscuous use of concubine and bride; Then, Israel's monarch, after Heaven's own heart, His vigorous warmth did variously impart To wives and slaves: and, wide as his command, Scatter'd his Maker's image through the land.
