I go down into the bark wherein thou art.

Be there given to me my mouth wherewith to speak, and my feet
for walking; and let me have my arms wherewith to overthrow my
adversaries.

Let two hands from the Earth open my mouth: Let Seb, the
Erp[=a][D] of the gods, part my two jaws; let him open my two
eyes which are closed, and give motion to my two hands which are
powerless: and let Anubis give vigour to my legs, that I may
raise myself up upon them.

And may Sechit, the divine one, lift me up; so that I may arise
in Heaven and issue my behest in Memphis.

And most keen of insight is his Heart among the gods. Ho to me!
Heart of mine; I am in possession of thee, I am thy master, and
thou art by me; fall not away from me; I am the dictator whom
thou shalt obey in the Netherworld.

CHAPTER XXVIII.

_Chapter whereby the Heart of a person is not taken from him in
the Netherworld._

O Lion-God!

I am Unbu[E] and what I abominate is the block of execution.

Let not this Whole Heart of mine be torn from me by the Divine
Champions[F] in Heliopolis.

O thou who clothest Osiris and hast seen Sutu.

O thou who turnest back after having smitten him, and hast

presence of Osiris.
