Rh holy temple which thou lovest, oh prince, leader, strong one!

Break open before us as the only Egg, oh strong one, valorous son!

Lo, this one is the opener-of-the-body, the masterful one&mdash;the god Seb is before his mother.

Great are my adornings, for that done in Amentit is beloved:

He hath vanquished disaster, he is lord of the dead, the Bull of Amentit, born of Horus-Ra of the two horizons, the child lovely to the one beholding him.

Come thou to us in peace twice renewed&mdash;remove thou thy penalties;

Drive away the evil moment, oh our lord!

Come thou to us in peace twice renewed! Praise the child!

The elder cometh in peace, rejoicing, and there cometh the looked-for ruler of Egypt, the prince eternal, as "Still Heart."

As "Still Heart" is thy heart, oh our lord; come thou to thy temple&mdash;fear thou not the great evils.

Dost thou not behold and hear the words uttered at thy Heb-festival?

Behold, the excellent sistrum-bearer!

There cometh to thy temple the circle of the gods, seeking to see thee, oh child, lord, first maker of the body.
