English Translation (Griffith/Whitney)

Thus the lord, seated at the trough, of one accord, the prop and bearer of nourishment—hither thou waxest. Make vigor; grasp it wholly in thee, O rich in sap, that the strong impeller may be for the increase of the drinkers.

So wächst du heran zu diesem Herrn, der am Trog sitzt, einmütig, Stütze und Träger der Nahrung. Schaffe Kraft; fasse sie ganz in dir, o Saftreicher, damit der starke Antreiber zum Wachstum der Trinkenden werde.
