1الله ولى كل نعمه
2يوخذ على بركة الله وعونه من الاخوين رطل يسحق سحق جيد
3ويعمل عليه رطل صابون ويعمل في قدر وتلبس
4بطين الحكمة وتودع نار دمس ليلته ثم تخرج
5باكر تسحق ويضاف إليه رطل صابون كالاول
6وتعاد الى الزبل وتخرج باكر يضاف اليها رطل
7صابون متل الاول وتخرج ويوخد رطل بياض بيض
8ورطل عسل نحل ويخلط على بعضـه ويرمى فيـه وقيتين
9نشادر ويعلق فى الشمس يومين ويمخط كل يوم تلت دفوع
10وتطربه الزرنيخ المزبد وتجعله فى قنينة مطيينة إلى حلقها
11وتعيد تحته نار فحم تم تعيد بنار الحطب من الظهر الى العصر
12بعد سد فم القارورة وتبيت على موضعها الى باكر تكسر
13يوخد الذى فى حلقها وهو رصاص درهم منه على تنين وعسرين زهره
14 نحاس وبـالله اليقين
