7/21 "Should you not have said--the murderer of the murdered and his seed? The sovereign of Egypt by right divine, takes precedence of her vassal, even though it has pleased the gods, whose will she has come to execute, to command her to give to him the name of husband until that will is more fully known. Come now and do homage to your Queen, and after you those slaves of yours who dared to lift the sword against her." Then a great tumult arose, a tumult of rage and of dismay, for well nigh all in that vast place were partners in this crime, and knew that if Neter-Tua prevailed death yawned wide for them. They shouted to him to tear her from the throne, to kill her, and seize the crown. They drew their swords and raged like an angry sea. |
