Nay, leave me alone, Magician, I will speak the truth, chance what may.

Pharaoh, you have reigned for many years; yes, forty times has the Nile overflowed its banks since we laid our divine father in the tomb.

Now, during all those years but one child has been born to you, and that after I came to Thebes to pray you to name me as your heir.

Know, Pharaoh, that there are many who find this strange, and wonder whether this beautiful queen, who is called Daughter of Amen, and resembles you so little in body or in mind, sits rightfully on the throne of Egypt.

If I marry her these questionings will cease.
