Let me seize that Thigh([4]) which is under the place of Osiris, with which I may open the mouth of the gods and sit by him, like Thoth the Scribe, sound of heart,([5]) with thousands of loaves, beer, beef, and fowl upon the table of my father, and the flesh of oxen and birds of various kinds,([6]) which I offer to Horus, which I present to Thoth, and which I sacrifice to the Lord of Heaven.
[81]. Cf. note on the Ass of Chapter 40.
CHAPTER LXX.
Another Chapter.
I have come to an end([7]) for the Lord of Heaven. I am written down as sound of heart, and I rest at the table of my father Osiris, King of Tattu, and my heart is stirred by his country. I breathe the eastern breeze by its hair([8]); I grasp the north wind by its side lock; I grasp the south wind by the skin as I make the circuit of heaven on its four sides; I seize the east wind by the skin, and I give the breezes to the faithful dead amid those who eat bread.
If this scripture is known upon earth he will come forth by day, he will walk upon earth amid the living: his name will be uninjured for ever.
ce Notes to Chapters LXIX and LXX.
These last two chapters are always found together, and always appended to the ancient Chapter 68. This is the case not only in the papyri, but in tombs like that of Bakenrenef.
