Collaudentur veterrimi  Collaudentur dracones    In speculis sunt  In penetralibus tellis  Dracones stellantis noctis.    Quis capit vos mente,  Quis comprehendit vos mente?  Vos quibus sapientia oblita,  Opsque, vestrum numen,  Et ad creandum et ad consumendum;  Qui antea fuerunt ac erunt in perpetuum.    Elicio vos, me audite!  Evoco ex penetralibus tellis  Accipite haec sacra qui obeo vobis;  Accipatur veterrimis deis     Extolled be the most ancient ones  Extolled be the serpents, the dragons    Lying in wait, the dragons  Of night strewn with fulgent stars  Reside in the bowels of the earth.    What spirit would understand thine,  Let alone comprehend?  Thou who bears elusive wisdom,  Masters the numinous art and wields the power  Both to create and to dissolve;  Who was here before and will be hereafter.    I summon thee, harken!  I conjure thee from deep within  The bowels of the earth  Accept this sacrifice I offer  As to be accepted  By the most ancient gods
