Before they arrived, the young princes came to their father's tent, and learned from his own lips the noble birth of Pentaur, and that they owed it to their sister that in him they saw another brother; they welcomed him with sincere affection, and all, especially Rameri, warmly congratulated the handsome and worthy couple.
"It is a complete rebellion," cried Katuti. "Take care, you lordlings; Ameni and the other prophets are not to be trifled with." "Nor we either," said Rameri laughing, "If Pentaur is kept in banishment, I shall appeal to my father to place me at the school at Heliopolis or Chennu, and the others will follow me. Come, Bent-Anat, I must be back in the trap before sunset.
The young princes went up to each other, and Rameri fell on his brother's neck and kissed him. The king stroked their heads. "Now go in peace," he said, "and to-morrow you shall both strive to win a fresh mark of honor." When his sons had left the tent, Rameses turned to his charioteer and said: "I have to speak to you too before the battle.
Rameri asked Nefert: "What can have come to my sister? she seems quite strange to me; and you too are not the same as you used to be." "We both have to find our way in new circumstances." "What are they?" "That I cannot explain to you! but it appears to me that you soon may experience something of the same kind. Rumeri, do not go again to the paraschites."
he was the eldest of his sons, and while still young had been invested with the dignity of high-priest of Memphis. The curly-haired Rameri, who had been rescued from imprisonment into which he had fallen on his journey from Egypt had been assigned a place with the younger princes at the lowest end of the table. "It all sounds very threatening!" said the king.
"And you," cried Rameri, "and close behind, Nefert's husband, Mena, with the guards. Uncle Ani comes on foot. How strangely he has dressed himself like a sphinx hind-part before!" "How so?" asked Nefert. "A sphinx," said Rameri laughing, it has the body of a lion, and the head of a man, The sphinx was called Neb, i. e., the lord.
When Mena saw the twelve princes descending to the ground, he shouted through his hands, using them as a speaking trumpet, and called to Rameri, who was about to slip down the rope they had contrived, the last of them all. "Pull up the rope, and keep it from injury till I come."
"Nebsecht has already told us that she was a dumb woman, a prisoner of war, and I myself believe that she was of no mean house, for Uarda is nobly formed in face and figure." "And her skin is as fine as the petal of a flower," cried Rameri. "Her voice is like the ring of pure gold, and Oh! look, she is moving. Uarda, open your eyes, Uarda! When the sun rises we praise the Gods.
Is there one among them, who is conspicuous above them all for a lofty spirit and strength of intellect?" The young Rameri looked gaily at the speaker, and said laughing: "We are all much alike, and do more or less willingly what we are compelled, and by preference every thing that we ought not." "A mighty soul a youth, who promises to be a second Snefru, a Thotmes, or even an Amem?
"You are a brave fellow!" said the son of the chief priest of Anion, shaking his right hand, while Anana held his left. The prince freed himself laughing from their grasp. "Now the old man may come home," he exclaimed, "we are ready for him. But all the same I will ask my father to send me to Chennu, as sure as my name is Rameri, if they do not recall Pentaur."
