Shadowy valleys. No one is ever allowed

Down to earth’s hidden places unless he has first

Plucked this sprout of fledged gold from its tree

And handed it over to fair Proserpina

To whom it belongs, by decree, her own special gift.

And when it is plucked, a second one grows every time

In its place, golden again, emanating

That same sheen and shimmer. Therefore look up

And search deep, and as soon as you find it

Take hold of it boldly and duly. If fate has called you,

200

The bough will come away in your hand.

Otherwise, no strength you muster will break it,

Nor the hardest forged blade lop it off.
