Nature knows her business, else had she

Queen OF thine hsth seized the Temple
lands and revenues, and driven away
the Priests-all, save the holy Amen
emhat, who lies here, and whom she left,
know not why; ay, and caused
the worship OF the Gods TO cease within
these walls. Well, he's gone,-he's gone
and indeed he is better with Osiris, for his
life was a sore burden TO him. And hark
thou, Harmachis: he hath not left thee
empty handed; for as the plot failed, he
gathered all his wealth, and it is large, and
hid it-where, L can show thee-and thine
it is by right Of descent"
''Talk not T. me of wealth, Atoua. Where
shall go and how shall hide my shamel"
"Ahl true, true; here mayst thou not
abide, for If they found thee, surely they
would put thee TO the dreadful death-ay,
even to the death by the waxen cloth. Nay,
/ will hide thee. and, when the funeral rites
of the holy Amenemhat have been per

of trouble as the Nile mud is Of beetles.
Come, Harmachis, come"
