pass that the Evil One shall fall when he layeth a snare to
destroy thee, and the joints of his neck and of his back shall be hacked
asunder. Ra [saileth] with a fair wind, and the _Sektet_ boat draweth on
and cometh into port. The mariners of Ra rejoice, and the heart of
Nebt-ankh(8) is glad, for the enemy of her lord hath fallen to the ground.
Thou shalt behold Horus on the standing-place of the pilot of the boat,
and Thoth and Maat shall stand one upon each side of him. All the gods
shall rejoice when they behold Ra coming in peace to make the hearts of
the shining ones to live, and Osiris Ani, victorious, the scribe of the
divine offerings of the lords of Thebes, shall be along with them!"

Hymn To The Setting Sun

[From the Papyrus of Mut-hetep (British Museum No, 10,010, sheet 5).]

[ANOTHER CHAPTER OF] THE MYSTERY OF THE TUAT (UNDERWORLD) AND OF PASSING
THROUGH THE UNSEEN NETHERWORLD, and of seeing the Disk when he setteth in
Amentet, [when] he is adored by the gods and by the _Khu_s in the
underworld, and [when] the Soul which dwelleth in Ra is made perfect. He
is made mighty before Tem; he is made great before Osiris; he setteth his
terror before the company of the gods who are the guides of the
netherworld; he maketh long (?) his steps and he maketh his face to enter
(?) [with that of] the great god. Now every _Khu_, for whom these words
shall have been said, shall come forth by day in any form which he is
pleased to take; he shall gain power among the gods of the Tuat
(underworld), and they shall recognize him as one of themselves; and he
shall enter in at the hidden gate with power.

The lady Mut-hetep, victorious, singeth hymns of praise to thee [saying]:
"O Ra-Tem, in thy splendid progress thou risest, and thou settest as a
living being in the glories of the western horizon; thou settest in thy
territory which is in Manu.(9) Thy uraeus is behind thee, thy uraeus is
behind thee. Homage to thee, O thou who art in peace, homage to thee, O
thou who art in peace. Thou art joined unto the Eye of Tem, and it
chooseth its powers of protection [to place] behind thy members. Thou
goest forth through heaven, thou travellest over the earth, and thou
journeyest onward. O Luminary, the northern and southern halves of heaven
come to thee and they bow low in adoration, and they pay homage unto thee,
day by day. The gods of Amentet rejoice in thy beauties and the unseen
places sing hymns of praise unto thee. Tho
