IV

He hath come to us, that he may take the land of the South Country:

the Double Crown[212] hath been placed upon his head.

He hath come, he hath united the two lands: he hath joined the Reed to

the Hornet.[213]

He hath come, he hath ruled the people of the Black Land: he hath

placed the Red Land in his power.[214]

He hath come, he hath protected the two lands: he hath tranquillized

the two regions.

He hath come, he hath made the people of Egypt to live: he hath

destroyed its afflictions.

He hath come, he hath made the Pat to live: he hath opened the throat

of the Rekhyt.[215]

He hath come, he hath trampled on the nations: he hath smitten the Anu

who knew not his terror.

He hath come, he hath secured his frontier: he hath delivered him who

was stolen away.

He hath come: ... he granteth reward-in-old-age by what his mighty arm

bringeth to us.

He hath come, we nurture our children: we bury our aged ones[216] by

his good favor.
