Of Protecting The Boat Of Ra

[THE CHAPTER OF PROTECTING THE BOAT OF RA.](61)

"O thou that cleavest the water as thou comest forth from the stream and
dost sit upon thy place in thy boat, sit thou upon thy place in thy boat
as thou goest forth to thy station of yesterday, and do thou join the
Osiris, the overseer of the palace, the chancellor-in-chief, Nu,
triumphant, the perfect _Khu_, unto thy mariners, and let thy strength be
his strength. Hail, Ra, in thy name of Ra, if thou dost pass by the eye of
seven cubits, which hath a pupil of three cubits, then verily do thou
strengthen the Osiris, Nu, triumphant, the perfect _Khu_, [and let him be
among] thy mariners, and let thy strength be his strength. Hail, Ra, in
thy name of Ra, if thou dost pass by those who are overturned in death
then verily do thou make the Osiris, Nu, triumphant, the perfect soul, to
stand up upon his feet, and may thy strength be his strength. Hail, Ra, in
thy name of Ra, if the hidden things of the underworld are opened unto
thee and thou dost gratify(?) the heart of the cycle of thy gods, then
verily do thou grant joy of heart unto the chancellor-in-chief, Nu,
triumphant, and let thy strength be his strength. Thy members, O Ra, are
established by (this) Chapter(?)."

[THIS CHAPTER] SHALL BE RECITED OVER A BANDLET OF THE FINE LINEN OF KINGS
[UPON WHICH] IT HATH BEEN WRITTEN WITH _ANTI_, WHICH SHALL BE LAID UPON
THE NECK OF THE PERFECT _KHU_ ON THE DAY OF THE BURIAL. IF THIS AMULET BE
LAID UPON HIS NECK HE SHALL DO EVERYTHING WHICH HE DESIRETH TO DO EVEN
LIKE THE GODS; AND HE SHALL JOIN HIMSELF UNTO THE FOLLOWERS OF HORUS; AND
HE SHALL BE STABLISHED AS A STAR FACE TO FACE WITH SEPTET (SOTHIS); AND
HIS CORRUPTIBLE BODY SHALL BE AS A GOD ALONG WITH HIS KINSFOLK FOREVER;
AND THE GODDESS MENQET SHALL MAKE PLANTS TO GERMINATE UPON HIS BODY; AND
THE MAJESTY OF THE GOD THOTH LOVINGLY SHALL MAKE THE LIGHT TO REST UPON
HIS CORRUPTIBLE BODY AT WILL, EVEN AS HE DID FOR THE MAJESTY OF THE KING
OF THE NORTH AND OF THE SOUTH, THE GOD OSIRIS, TRIUMPHANT.
