Riddle. Seven cities and seven metals, Also seven days and seven numbers; Seven letters and seven words, Also seven times and seven places. I mean seven herbs as well, Also seven arts and seven stones. Seven and three are counted off; Let no one hurry a half here. In sum, within this precious number Rest all things upon the whole earth.

Historical Text and Translation

Anonymous, Wasserstein der Weysen. Frankfurt: Lucas Jennis, 1619. The governing e-rara copy belongs to the Stiftung der Werke von C. G. Jung, Zürich (DOI 10.3931/e-rara-8968). The work is traditionally attributed to Johann Siebmacher; this remains an attribution, not a name printed in the anonymous witness. The separately sourced First and Second Responses use the 1661 Wolfenbüttel witness, qun-642-1s, pp. 200–206.
