The Queen of Sheba. From the manuscript "Bellifortis" by Conrad Kyeser, ca. 1402-05. Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Göttingen, 2 Cod. Ms. Philos. 63, Cim., fol. 122r. Sum regina Sabba clarior ceteris et venusta Pulchra sum et casta stat speculum pectore sculptum In quo contemplantur juvenes quecumque volunt Et in visu tacta fune retro follis absconsa Per aerem subito movet fuliginem ore Astans nisi similis pelle colore stabit I am the Queen of Sheba, more famous than others, and attractive: I am beautiful and chaste. There is a mirror in my chest, In which young men may behold whatever they wish. While one of them views it, he pulls a rope, the bellows are compressed, And darkness suddenly bursts forth from my mouth into the air: Then he stands before me with a similar skin, similar in color.
