"Neutralising rice-paste, genuine rice-paste, Add plumpness to plumpness, Let pigeon come down to the weight of thousands of pounds, And alight upon the Ivory Hall, Which is carpeted with silver, and whose railings are of amalgam, Unto the dishes of Her Highness Princess Lebar Nyiru (Broad-sieve). Come in procession, come (in succession), The 'assembly-flower' begins to unfold its petals, Come down in procession, come down as stragglers, King Solomon's self has come to call you. Sift, sift (the rice) over the rice-bag, King Solomon's self bids you haste. Sift, sift the rice-ends, Sift them over the rush-work bag. As one disappears another is invited, Is invited and escorted down. Sift, sift the rice-ends, Sift them over the salt-bag, As one disappears another is invited, And escorted inside (the hut)."

Come and assemble in King Solomon's audience-hall. Cluck, cluck! souls of Queen Kapor, Princess Puding, Handmaid Sarap, Come down and assemble in King Solomon's audience-hall, And put on King Solomon's necklace (breast-ornaments) and armlets." [258] When about to enter the hut say-- "[Hearken], O Hearts of Wild Doves, Cut we the Rod of Invitation, This hut is named the Magic Prince, This tube is named Prince Distraction, Distraught (be ye) by day, distraught by night, Distraught (with longing) to assemble in King Solomon's Hall, Cluck, cluck! souls of Queen Kapor," etc. (as before).
