Dirge Of Menephtah

Amen gave thy heart pleasure,
he gave thee a good old age,
a lifetime of pleasure followed thee
blessed was thy lip, sound thy arm
strong thy eye to see afar
thou hast been clothed in linen.
Thou hast guided thy horse and chariot
of gold with thy hand
the whip in thy hand, yoked were the steeds
the Xaru, and Nahsi, marched before thee
a proof of what thou hadst done
thou hast proceeded to thy boat of as wood
a boat made of it before and behind
thou hast approached the beautiful tower which
thou thyself made
thy mouth was full of wine, beer, bread and flesh
were slaughtered cattle and wine opened:
the sweet song was made before thee
thy head anointer anointed thee with kami
the chief of thy garden pools brought crown
the superintendent of thy fields brought birds
thy fisherman brought fish
thy galley came from Xaru laden with good things
thy stable was full of horses
thy female slaves were strong
thy enemies were placed fallen
thy word no one opposed
Thou hast gone before the gods the victor the justified!
