(385) 673 To say: R` dawns against thee; 673 Horus bends his Nine Bows against this spirit which comes out of the earth, 673 with severed head and clipped tail. 673 Dr-serpent, Ddi, son of r.t-tw, 674 turn around, turn over, that one may forgive (?) thee in respect of him (the dead). 674 fn.w-serpent, fnn.t-serpent, 675 pay attention to him, pay attention to the earth, pay attention to thy father Geb. 675 If thou payest not attention to him, his. branding-iron which is on (over) thy head will pay attention to thee. 675 ri.w-serpent, lie down. 676 Spring up, kr (earth), seize him; Hole-in-the-earth, straighten thy tail. 676 If N. moves his arm against thee thou shalt die; 676 if the arm of N. lets thee go thou shalt not live. 677 The (my) watercourse is thy watercourse, says Shu. 677 Shu stands on thy fetters. 677 Turn around, turn over. 677 The fingers of N. which are upon thee are the fingers of the mfd.t-lynx, who lives in the "house of life," 678 that thou mayest spit out.

(6) Come forward, Libicocco and Draghignazzo, And tusked Ciriatto and Graffiacane, And Farfarello and mad Rubicante; Search ye all round about the boiling pitch; Let these be safe as far as the next crag, That all unbroken passes o'er the dens." "O me! what is it, Master, that I see? Pray let us go," I said, "without an escort, If thou knowest how, since for myself I ask none. If thou art as observant as thy wont is, Dost thou not see that they do gnash their teeth, And with their brows are threatening woe to us?" And he to me: "I will not have thee fear; Let them gnash on, according to their fancy, Because they do it for those boiling wretches." Along the left-hand dike they wheeled about; But first had each one thrust his tongue between His teeth towards their leader for a signal; And he had made a trumpet of his rump.

(314) 504 To say: Back, thou ox, which shall be killed, on whose horns the fingers of the earth-god shall be. 504 Fall, glide away.

Ah, how ferocious was he in his aspect! And how he seemed to me in action ruthless, With open wings and light upon his feet! His shoulders, which sharp-pointed were and high, A sinner did encumber with both haunches, And he held clutched the sinews of the feet. From off our bridge, he said: "O Malebranche, Behold one of the elders of Saint Zita; Plunge him beneath, for I return for others Unto that town, which is well furnished with them. All there are barrators, except Bonturo; No into Yes for money there is changed." He hurled him down, and over the hard crag Turned round, and never was a mastiff loosened In so much hurry to pursue a thief. The other sank, and rose again face downward; But the demons, under cover of the bridge, Cried: "Here the Santo Volto has no place!

(276) 417 To say: Thy act is against thee, what thou doest is against thee, 417 O sksk-serpent, which is in his (thy) hole?, the opponent.
