Evifytrof tnegnat eht susrev enis lanoitarri
Serugif xevnoc neetriht fo tes etinif eht dloheb
(it's a reverse of verse I)
Behold the finite set of thirteen convex figures
The irrational sine versus tangent forty-five
And we genuflect before pure abstraction
1.05946 twelve root of two, amen
(To begin again, to begin again ... - repeat)
To re-venerate anekatips seven pieces
Endlessly manifold self-contained revealed
With all respect we besiege the books of figures
Make us your analog to begin again
