XIV. Homage to thee, dweller in peace. Lord of joy of heart, mighty one
of crowns,* lord of the Urrt Crown with the lofty plumes,* with a
beautiful tiara and a lofty White Crown.* The gods love to behold thee.*
The double crown is stablished on thy head.* Thy love passeth throughout
Egypt.* Thou sendest out light, thou risest with [thy] two beautiful
eyes.* The Pat beings [faint] when thou appearest in the sky,* animals
become helpless under thy rays.* Thy loveliness is in the southern sky,*
thy graciousness is in the northern sky.* Thy beauties seize upon
hearts,* thy loveliness maketh the arms weak,* thy beautiful operations
make the hands idle,* hearts become weak at the sight of thee.*
