“Hail, thou Lion-god! I am the Flower Bush (_Unb_). That which is an abomination unto me is the divine block. Let not this my heart (_hāti_) be carried away from me by the fighting gods in Annu. Hail, thou who dost wind bandages round Osiris and who hast seen Set! Hail, thou who returnest after smiting and destroying him before the mighty ones! This my heart (_ab_) [sitteth] and weepeth for itself before Osiris; it hath made supplication for me. I have given unto him and I have decreed unto him the thoughts of the heart in the House of the god Usekh-hra,(24) and I have brought to him sand (_sic_) at the entry to Khemennu (Hermopolis Magna). Let not this my heart (_hāti_) be carried away from me! I make thee to dwell(?) upon this throne, O thou who joinest together hearts (_hātu_) [in Sekhet-hetep (with) years] of strength against all things that are an abomination unto thee, and to carry off food from among the things which belong unto thee, and are in thy grasp by reason of thy twofold strength. And this my heart (_hāti_) is devoted to the decrees of the god Tem who leadeth me into the dens of Suti, but let not this my heart which hath done its desire before the sovereign princes who are in the underworld be given unto him.

[As I] advance, the gods hearken unto my offerings, and they all fall down upon their faces in their own places.” The Chapter Of Preserving The Heart [From the Papyrus of Amen-hetep (Naville, “Todtenbuch,” Bd. I. Bl. 40).] THE CHAPTER OF NOT ALLOWING THE HEART OF AMEN-HETEP, TRIUMPHANT, TO BE CARRIED AWAY DEAD IN THE UNDERWORLD. The deceased saith: “My heart is with me, and it shall never come to pass that it shall be carried away. I am the lord of hearts, the slayer of the heart. I live in right and truth (_Maāt_) and I have my being therein. I am Horus, the dweller in hearts, who is within the dweller in the body. I live in my word, and my heart hath being. Let not my heart be taken away from me, let it not be wounded, and may neither wounds nor gashes be dealt upon me because it hath been taken away from me. Let me have my being in the body of [my] father Seb, [and in the body of my] mother Nut.
