What do you seek, dear Carlo, that I hide  
In my dark breast? Or what I show  
The way to solve the cube, with two keys only,  
Unlocking the realm of three things? Well, I show  
The path for you, but do not give the key  
To others, so the secret is dear to me.  
  
The thing you ask of me is precious,  
A valuable and costly thing:  
It is the solution to the cube and the square.  
For which I want to give you the key and the method,  
But do not tell it to anyone; only to you.  
  
It lies in the sign that makes the sum  
Of the things that are three in number only;  
And the number is one, which I reveal to you.  
Of the cube and the square, which I show you.  
What makes the sum of the square and the cube,  
Take it, and put the number eight above it.
