To whom golden cups give drinkable life.

Signed for the sake of friendship

Trusting in GOD, the golden cradle of gold.

In Scrutiny of the Love of the Elixir of Life.

P You approach closely, of whom it is right to predict,

Names often suit their things.

R In truth, this work is a Bridge original: "Pons", and with the name Pruggmayr

It agrees; you have the name and omen of a Bridge.

V You turn the method in the art to overcome the waves of diseases,

And you help to put to flight immense death by a Bridge.

G May the sole glory of God be the goal of labors in all things,

You have built a Bridge, you will be blessed by the Bridge.

G You will be pleasing to the heavens, and no less most pleasing to the world,

For this work of yours is worthy in every place.

M Gifts befit a work worthy of perfection,

Gods sell all things by the aid of Mars and art.

A But continue to serve God thus, by this BRIDGE of salvation

The neighbor will safely approach the adverse waters.

R May the matter succeed for you, to live the years of Nestor

So that your neighbor may be able to be strong by your BRIDGE.
