Chapter LXXIV
Ancient Egyptian trans. P. Le Page Renouf & E. Naville • c. c. 1550 BCE
1.
Do what thou hast to do, O Sekaru ( twice ); as The god who is in his own house, and as The god who standeth on his legs in the Netherworld
2.
I shine above the Leg as I come forth in Heaven, but I lie helpless with corpselike face
3.
Oh I faint, I faint, as I advance; I faint, I faint before the teeth of those whose mouth raveneth in the Netherworld
