Had it not been for me and my counsel, long ago you would have become but a forgotten traitor.

Remember that night at Thebes, when in your pride you desired to smite at the heart of Pharaoh, and how I held your hand, and remember how, many a time, my wisdom has been your guide, when left to your own rash folly you must have failed or perished.

It is true also, Prince, that in the future as in the past, with me and by me you stand or fall.

Yet if you think otherwise, find some wiser man to lead you, and wait the end.

All the rods in Egypt cannot be broken on my back, O Abi.
