Thus stands the case: The Great King advances upon Egypt with an army countless as the sands, nor can Egypt hope to battle against him unaided and alone.

He comes to make of her a slave, to kill her children, to burn her temples, to sack her cities and to defile her gods with blasphemies.

Moreover he comes to seize me and to drag me away to shame in his House of Women.
"Therefore for the sake of the gods, for Egypt's sake and for my own, I pray you come and save us.

Moreover I still love you, Shabaka, yes, more a thousand times, then ever I did, though whether you still love me I know not.

For that love's sake, therefore, I am ready to break my vows to Isis and to dare her vengeance, if she should desire to be avenged upon me who would save her and her worship, praying that it may fall on my head and not on yours.
