Chapter XXVI

_Chapter whereby the Heart is given to a person in the
Netherworld._

He saith: Heart,[C] mine to me, in the place of Hearts! Whole
Heart! mine to me in the place of Whole Hearts!

Let me have my Heart that it may rest within me; but I shall
feed upon the food of Osiris, on the eastern side of the mead of
amaranthine flowers.

Be mine a bark, for descending the stream and another, for
ascending.

I go down into the bark wherein thou art.

Be there given to me my mouth wherewith to speak, and my feet
for walking; and let me have my arms wherewith to overthrow my
adversaries.

Let two hands from the Earth open my mouth: Let Seb, the
Erp[=a][D] of the gods, part my two jaws; let him open my two
eyes which are closed, and give motion to my two hands which are
powerless: and let Anubis give vigour to my legs, that I may
raise myself up upon them.

And may Sechit, the divine one, lift me up; so that I may arise
in Heaven and issue my behest in Memphis.

I am in possession of my Heart, I am in possession of my Whole
Heart, I am in possession of my arms and I have possession of my
legs.

[I do whatsoever my Genius (_Ka?_) willeth, and my Soul (_Ba?_)
is not bound to my Body (_Khat?_) at the gates of Amenta.]
