A Love Spell

Hail to thee, O Re-Harakhte,

Father of the Gods!

Hail to you,

O yee Seven Hathors

Who are adorned

with strings of red thread!

Hail to you, yee Gods

lords of heaven and earth!

Come make so-and-so [female]

born of so-and so come after me,

Like an ox after grass,

Like a servant after her children,

Like a drover after his heard!

If you do not make her come after me,

Then I will set [fire to] Busiris

and burn up [Osiris].

Written on a Twentieth Dynasty pottery fragment.

Prayer To Osiris

Exalted art thou on thy throne,
O Osiris! Thou hast heard fair things,
O Osiris! Thy strength is vigorous,
O Osiris! Thy head is fastened on thy body,
O Osiris! Thy neck is made firm,
O Osiris! Thy heart is glad,
O Osiris! Thy speech is made effective,
O Osiris! Thy princes rejoice
Thou art established the Bull in Amentet.
Thy son Horus hath ascended
thy throne,and all life is with him.
Millions of years minister unto him,
and millions of years hold him in fear.
The company of the Gods are his servants,
and they hold him in fear.
The god Tem, the Governor,
the only One among the gods,
hath spoken, and his word passeth not away.

-from the Papyrus of Ani, EGYPTIAN BOOK OF THE DEAD, Budge, translator.
