remember and I will forget. Let me go forward on
my journey, and let me plough. I am at peace in the divine city,(65) and I
know the waters, cities, nomes, and lakes which are in Sekhet-hetep. I
exist therein, I am strong therein, I become a _khu_ therein, I eat
therein, I sow seed therein, I reap the harvest therein, I plough therein,
I make love therein, I am at peace with the god Hetep therein. Behold I
scatter seed therein, I sail about among its Lakes and I come forward to
the cities thereof, O divine Hetep. Behold, my mouth is equipped with my
horns [for teeth], grant me an overflowing supply of the food whereon the
_ka_s and _khu_s [live]. I have passed the judgment of Shu upon him that
knoweth him, so that I may go forth to the cities thereof, and may sail

entered into thee and I have counted my harvest, and I go forward to
Uakh.(69) I am the Bull enveloped in turquoise, the lord of the Field of
the Bull, the lord of the divine speech of the goddess Septet (Sothis) at
her hours. O Uakh, I have entered into thee, I have eaten my bread, I have
gotten the mastery over choice pieces of the flesh of oxen and of
feathered fowl, and the birds of Shu have been given unto me; I follow
