for me. I, even I, am exalted in my tomb, and the double
Lion-god hath bound the _nemmes_ crown upon my [head], and he hath also
given unto me the double hairy covering of my head. He hath stablished my
heart through his own backbone, he hath stablished my heart through his
own great and exceeding strength, and I shall not fall through Shu. I make
my peace with the beautiful divine Brother, the lord of the two uraei,
adored be he! I, even I, am he who knoweth the roads through the sky, and
the wind thereof is in my body. The bull which striketh terror [into men]
shall not drive me back, and I shall pass on to the place where lieth the
shipwrecked mariner on the border of the Sekhet-neheh (_i.e._, Field of
illimitable time), and I shall journey on to the night and sorrow of the
regions of Amenti. O Osiris, I shall come each day into the House of the
double Lion-god, and I shall come forth therefrom into the House of Isis,
the divine lady. I shall behold sacred things which are hidden, and I

divine hawk, my strength is like unto that of the divine hawk, and I am
one who hath been fully equipped by his divine Lord. I shall come forth to
Tattu, I shall see Osiris, I shall pay homage to him on the right hand and
on the left, I shall pay homage unto Nut, and she shall look upon me, and
the gods shall look upon me, together with the Eye of Horus who is without
sight(?). They (_i.e._, the gods) shall make their arms to come forth unto
me. I rise up [as] a divine Power, and [I] repulse him that would subject
me to restraint. They open unto me the holy paths, they see my form, and
they hear that which I speak. [Down] upon your faces, ye gods of the Tuat
(underworld), who would resist me with your faces and oppose me with your
powers, who lead along the stars which never rest, and who m
