scend into the waters! And then, verily
shall Ra--who feedeth upon right and order--come forth into heaven, and
then, verily, shall Hapi--who feedeth upon fish--descend into the waters;
and then, verily, the great day upon the earth shall not be in its season.
I have come against my Enemy, he hath been given unto me, he hath come to
an end, and I have gotten possession [of him] before the sovereign
princes."

Victory Over Enemies

[From Lepsius, "Todtenbuch," Bl. 25.]

THE CHAPTER OF COMING FORTH BY DAY AND OF GAINING THE MASTERY OVER
ENEMIES.

"Hail, [thou] who shinest from the Moon and who sendest forth light
therefrom, thou comest forth among thy multitudes, and thou goest round
about, let me rise," or (as others say), "let me be brought in among the
_Khu_s, and let the underworld be opened [unto me]. Behold, I have come

Sothis are stablished, and I am born in their state of rest."

Neith gave birth to me; I am Horus, and [I have] come forth from the Eye
of Horus. I am Uatchit who came forth from Horus. I am Horus and I fly up
and perch myself upon the forehead of Ra in the bows of his boat which is
in heaven."

Opening The Underworld

[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 15).]

THE CHAPTER OF OPENING THE UNDERWORLD. The overseer of the palace, the
chancellor-in-chief, Nu, triumphant, saith:

"The chamber of those who dwell in Nu is opened, and the footsteps of
those who dwell with the god of Light are set free. The chamber of Shu is
opened, and he cometh forth; and I shall come forth outside, and I shall
advance from my territory(?), I shall receive ... and I shall lay firm
hold upon the tribute in the House of the Chief of his dead. I shall
