THE CHAPTERS OF SEKHET-HETEPET...:...THE ELYSIAN FIELDS
Saith Osiris Ani, triumphant:
(4) "Set hath
carried away
Horus
to see
what is
being built
in the
Field of Peace,
and he
spread
eth
the air
over (5)
the divine
soul within
the egg
in its day.
He
hath delivered
the innermost part
of the body
of Horus
from the
holy ones
of Akert (?).[1]
Behold I
have sailed
in the mighty boat
on the Lake of Peace.[2]
I, even I,
have crowned him
in the House
of (6) Shu.
His
starry abode
reneweth
its youth,
reneweth
its youth.
I have sailed on its Lake that
I may come unto its cities, and
I have drawn nigh It unto the city Hetep.[3] For behold,
I repose at the seasons [of Horus].
I have passed through the region of the company of the gods who are aged and venerable. (7) 1 have pacified the two holy Fighters[4] who keep ward upon life.
I have done that which is right and fair, and
I have brought an offering and have pacified the two holy Fighters.
I have cut off the (9) hairy scalp of their adversaries, and
I have made aft end of the (10) woes which befel [their] children; (11)
I have done away all the evil which came against their souls;
I have gotten dominion over it, (12) 1 have knowledge thereof.
I have sailed forth on the waters [of the lake] (13) that
I may come unto the cities thereof.
I have power (14) over my mouth, being furnished [with] charms; let not. [the fiends] get the mastery over me, (16) let them not have dominion over me.
May I be equipped in thy Fields of Peace. What thou wishest that shalt thou do,
[saith the god]."
