For in the seasons we begin from "Nisan" according to the opinion of Rabbi "Joshua" as aforementioned and after it, the season of Tammuz; and after it, the season of Tishri; and after it, the season of Tevet; and you must know how many years you are from the great cycle [of 28] |

And afterward, if you want to know, i.e., the season of Nisan comes at the beginning of the cycle. |
The Paths of the sun and routes of her times,
In the season of her boundaries search for her glories;
The memory of the truth in the wisdom of her fences;
Be wise and ask in the times of her nobles
Great is the learning of her scholars and her learned ones;
Then in wisdom grow powerful knowledge of her
And abundance of bright light shine for her.
