_Chapter whereby one assumeth the form of the Golden Hawk._(1.)
I set myself to view: I set myself to view as the Golden Hawk, which
cometh out from its Egg; and I fly and I hover as a Hawk of four cubits
across the back. My two wings are of the green gem of the South.(2.)
I come forth from the cabin of the Sektit Bark and I raise myself up
from the Eastern Hill.
I stoop upon the Âtit Bark, that I may come and raise to me those who
are in their circles, and who bow down before me.
I display myself and gather myself together as the beautiful Golden Hawk
with the head of a Heron, to listen to whose utterances Râ cometh every
day, and I sit down in the midst of all the great gods of Heaven.
The fields lie before me; the produce is before me; I eat of it, I wax
radiant upon it, I am saturated with it to the satisfaction of my heart.
Nepra hath given to me my throat, and I am in possession of all that
pertaineth to my person.(3.)
