I was on guard at his door
In his birth-chamber.
I was brought forth at his birth;
I am Osiris.
One with his heart and his strength,
Ever renewing
My youth with his youth in the place
Whither he goeth.
Slaying his slayer, I too
Rise out of darkness;
Thus I take vengeance myself,
Working his vengeance.
All that is offered to him
Decketh my altar.
He who hath risen from Death
Beareth me with him.
