This part here is fascinating to me because it shows how  easily
translations can be quite different from the original. In the above, the
first line its nature, then the second seemed to translate nature as
"Spirits of nature", then the third seemed to translate spirits of nature
as gods, and then the last one translated them as reigners. Eventually
with the rest you end up with "kings". So fascinating.
