The Queen Nofre-Ari

"And I, the royal spouse, the all-powerful mistress of the world, I bring my homage, also, to Ammon-Ra, King of gods and men. My heart rejoices in thy loving kindness; I leap with delight under the weight of thy favors. Oh thou who dost establish the seat of thy power in the dwelling of thy son, the lord of the world, Rameses, accord to him a firmly established and pure life. May his years be counted by periods of panegyrics."

VII.

To this series of prayers and intercessions, Ammon-Ra replies by the mouth of his high-priest speaking to Mei-Amoun: "My well-beloved son, receive from me a pure life and long days to pass upon the throne of Kemi. Thou shalt joyously con trol the world; Thoth has written down beside thy name all the royal attributes of the celestial Aroeri. The South and the North, the East and the West, shall be brought under thy yoke; all the good gates shall be opened to thee. I give the evil races to thee to trample beneath thy sandals. The force of thy arm shall triumph in all parts of the world, and the terror of thy name shall stamp itself deeply on the heaps of the barbarians. I give to thee, oh! my son, the scythe of battle to restrain the foreign nations, and to sever the heads of the impure. Take the whip and the sceptre to rule the land of Kemi. By my orders, the lady of the celestial palace has prepared for thee, the diadem of the sun. May this helmet remain upon thy forehead, where I place it, forever! ."
