NG THE TRANSFORMATION INTO A DIVINE HAWK. The
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

"Hail, Great God, come now to Tattu! Make thou smooth for me the ways and
let me go round about [to visit] my thrones; I have renewed(?) myself, and
I have raised myself up. O grant thou that I may be feared, and make thou
me to be a terror. Let the gods of the underworld be afraid of me, and may
they fight for me in their habitations which are therein. Let not him that
would do me harm draw nigh unto me, or injure(?) me, in the House of
Darkness, that is, he that clotheth and covereth the feeble one, and whose
[name] is hidden; and let not the gods act likewise toward me. [Hail], ye
gods, who hearken unto [my] speech! Hail, ye rulers, who are among the
followers of Osiris! Be ye therefore silent, O ye gods, when one god
speaketh unto another, for he hearkeneth unto right and truth; and what I
speak unto [him] do thou also speak for me then, O Osiris. Grant thou that
I may journey round about [according to] that which cometh forth from thy
mouth concerning me, and grant that I may see thine own Form (or forms),
and the dispositions of thy Souls. Grant thou that I may come forth, and
that I may have power over my legs, and that I may have my existence there

journey onward, and may I be stablished upon my resting-place like the
Lord of Life. May I be joined unto Isis the divine lady, and may she
protect me from him that would do an injury unto me; and let not anyone
come to see the divine one naked and helpless. May I journey on, may I
come into the uttermost parts of heaven. I exchange speech with the god
Seb, I make supplication for divine food from Neb-er-tcher; the gods of
the underworld have fear of me, and they fight for me in their habitations
when they see that thou hast provided me with food, both of the fowl of
the air and of the fish of the sea. I am one of those _Khu_s who dwell
with the divine _Khu_, and I have made my form like unto his divine Form,
when he cometh forth and maketh himself manifest in Tattu. [I am] a
spiritual body (_sah_) and possess my soul, and will speak unto thee the
things which concern me. O grant thou that I may be feared, and make thou
me to be a terror; let the gods of the underworld
