_ka_ of the King
Men-kheper-ra it will be in thy hands to-day; now do thou well and bring
thou it to me." And Tahutia did thus, and he brought the cane of King
Men-kheper-ra. And he laid hold on the Foe in Joppa by his garment, and he
arose and stood up, and said, "Look on me, O Foe in Joppa; here is the
great cane of King Men-kheper-ra, the terrible lion, the son of Sekhet, to
whom Amen his father gives power and strength." And he raised his hand and
struck the forehead of the Foe in Joppa, and he fell helpless before him.
He put him in the sack of skins and he bound with gyves the hands of the
Foe in Joppa, and put on his feet the fetters with four rings. And he made
them bring the 200 sacks which he had cleaned, and made to enter into them
200 soldiers, and filled the hollows with cords and fetters of wood, he
sealed them with a seal, and added to them their rope-nets and the poles
to bear them. And he put every strong footman to bear them, in all 600
men, and said to them, "When you come into the town you shall open your
burdens, you shall seize on all the inhabitants of the town, and you shall
quickly put fetters upon them."

Then one went out and said unto the charioteer of the Foe in Joppa, "Thy
master is fallen; go, say to thy mistress, 'A pleasant message! For Sutekh
has given Tahutia to us, with his wife and his children; behold the
beginning of their tribute,' that she may comprehend the two hundred
sacks, which are full of men and cords and fetters." So he went before
them to please the heart of his mistress, saying, "We have laid hands on
Tahutia." Then the gates of the city were opened before the footmen: they
entered the city, they opened their burdens, they laid hands on them of
the city, both small and great, they put on them the cords and fetters
quickly; the power of Pharaoh seized upon that city. After he had rested
Tahutia sent a message to Egypt to the King Men-kheper-ra his lord,
saying: "Be pleased, for Amen thy good father has given to thee the Foe in
Joppa, together with all his people, likewise also his city. Send,
therefore, people to take them as captives that thou mayest fill the house
of thy father Amen Ra, king of the gods, with men-servants and
maid-servants, and that they may be overthrown beneath thy feet for ever
and ever."

The Doomed Prince

There once was a king to whom no son was born; and his heart was grieved,
and he prayed for himself unto the gods around him for a ch
