Original text:

Non sum compta comis et non sum calva capillis,
Intus enim crines mihi sunt quos non videt ullus.
Meque manus mittunt manibusque remittor in auras.

Translation:

I am not adorned with hair and I am not bald of hair,
For I have hair inside, which none see.
Hands send me and I am returned by hands through the air.
