Original text:

Nulla mihi certa est, nulla est peregrina figura.
Fulgor inest intus radianti luce coruscus,
Qui nihil ostendit, nisi si quid viderit ante.

Translation:

No shape is sure for me, and none is unknown.
My brightness lies within, shining with radiant light,
Which reveals nothing except what was seen before.
