I am the Bull in the Field ; I, even I, Osiris, whoshutup his
fatherand his mother on the day when the great slaughtertook
place. My father is Seb and my mother is Nut.
I am Horus, the eldest of Ra as he riseth.
I am Anubis on the day of Rending asunder: I am Osiris.
0 great One,who enterest and speakest to him who presenteth
the tablets and guardeth the door of Osiris, (2) grant that I may
comein and be glorified, let me be appraised, and let me be made
vigorous,that I may come and avenge myself.
Let me sit at the cradle (3) of Osiris, and put an end to my
sufferingand pain ; let me be made strong and vigorous at the
cradleof Osiris, so that I may be born with himand renewed.

Let me seize that Thigh (4) which is under the place of Osiris,
withwhichI may open the mouth of the gods and sit by him, like
Thoththe Scribe, soundof heart, (5) with thousandsof loaves, beer,
beef,and fowl uponthe table of my father, and the flesh of oxen
andbirdsof various kinds,(6) which I offer to Horus, which I
presentto Thoth, and which I sacrifice to the Lord of Heaven.CHAPTER LXX.

1 have cometo an end (7) for the Lord of Heaven. I am written
downas sound of heart, and I rest at the table of my father Osiris,
Kingof Tattu, and my heart is stirred by his country. I breathe
the eastern breezeby its hair (8) ; I grasp the north windby its
side lock ; I grasp the south windby the skin as I make the circuit
of heaven on its four sides ; I seize the east wind by the skin, and I
givethe breezes to the faithful deadamidthosewho eat bread.
