Oh thou who leapest forth, conductor of the Shades and Glorified ones from the Earth, let the fair path to the Tuat be granted to me, which is made in behalf of those who are in faint condition and for the restoration of those who are in pain. Who art thou, who devourest in Amenta? I am He who presideth in Restau. “He who entereth in his own name, and cometh forth in quest; the Lord of the Eternity of the Earth” is my name. She who hath conceived hath set down her burden; _which turneth round before descending; the door is shut at the wall which is reversed_....[75] His Eye hath been given to Horus and his face brighteneth at the dawning of the day. I am not exhausted: I become the Lion god and the palm flowers of Shu are upon me. I am not one who drowneth. Blessed are they who see(19.) the Bourne:(20.) beautiful is the god of the motionless heart who causeth the stay of the Overflowing. Behold! there cometh forth the Lord of Life, Osiris thy support, who abideth day after day. I embrace the Sycomore,(21.) I am united to the Sycomore. I part the two deities of morning that I may come to hold the Eye,(22.) and cause it to rest in its place. I am come to see Râ at his setting, and I unite with the breeze at his coming forth: my two hands are pure for adoring him. May I be restored! May I be restored! I fly up to heaven and I alight upon the earth; and mine eye turneth back there towards the traces of my footsteps. I am the offspring of Yesterday; the tunnels(23.) of the earth have given me birth, and I am revealed at my appointed time. May I be under shelter from the warlike handed god who cometh behind me, may my flesh be sound and may my glories be a protection to the limbs of one who waiteth for the purpose of taking counsel. May the Cycle of the gods listen to what I say. _To be said on coming forth by day; that one may not be kept back on the path of the Tuat, whether on entering or on coming forth; for taking all the forms which one desireth; and that the soul of the person die not a second time._ _If then this chapter be known the person is made triumphant upon earth [and in the Netherworld] and he performeth all things which are done by the living._ _This chapter was discovered on a plinth of the god of the Hennu Bark_ (24.) _by a master builder of the wall in the time of King Septa, the Victorious._(25.) _This composition is a secret; not to be seen or looked at._ _Recite the chapter when sanctified and pure; not approaching women, not eating goat’s flesh or fish._ NOTES.
