HYMN LXXII

A charm to restore or increase virile power

1Sicut anguis niger ad voluntatem se extendit, Asurarum arte
   magica formas novas efficiens, sic fascinum tuum, partem cum
   parte, conjunctum, hic hymnus efficiat.
2Velut penis (tayadarus quem ventus permagnum fecit, quantus.
   est onagri penis, tantus penis tuus increscat.
3Quantum estonagri membrum masculinum, elephanti, asinique,
   quantum est fortis equi, tantus penis tuus increscat.
