I. German version of the Latin Epigram.

The fruit in the belly of the wind, which still lives hidden,
If it should be raised into this light,
Can far surpass the counsel and deeds of all high heroes
Through art and strong power and the labor of its body;
See to it that he is not born unsuitably before his time,
But comes living onto the earth in the proper manner.
