we do not cease to contemplate thee.

Thine emanation heightens the brilliancy

of the stars of Orion in the firmament,

by rising and setting each day.

I am the divine Sothis[580] behind him.

I do not separate myself from him.

The glorious emanation which proceedeth from thee

giveth life to gods and men,

reptiles and quadrupeds.

They live by it.
