Then he called to one of the so-called "holy fathers," his private secretary, and said: "Draw up at once a document, to be sent to all the priests'-colleges in the land. Inform them that the daughter of Rameses has lapsed seriously from the law, and defiled herself, and direct that public you hear me public prayers shall be put up for her purification in every temple.
"Only a permit that makes me free to do and to practise whatever I please, unmolested even by the priests, and to receive an honorable burial after my death." "The Regent will hardly agree to that; for he must avoid everything that may offend the servants of the Gods." "And do everything," retorted the old woman, "that can degrade Rameses in their sight.
The prince has wooed her, so to speak, on the highway, but if she now comes with me he can enter the palace of kings as suitor to a princess, and the marriage feast I will provide shall be a right royal one." "What you demand is just and wise," replied Rameses. "Take your grand- child with you as my son's betrothed bride my future daughter. Give me your hands, my children.
His eye was everywhere, the shield always ready, and not an eyelash of the young hero trembled, while Rameses, each moment more infuriated, incited his lions with wild war-cries, and with flashing eyes advanced farther and farther into the enemy's ranks.
Rameses desired to be a defender of religion of the religion which could carry consolation into the life of the lowly and over-burdened, and give their existence a higher and fuller meaning the religion which to him, as king, appeared the indispensable means of keeping the grand significance of human life ever present to his mind sacred as the inheritance of his fathers, and useful as the school where the people, who needed leading, might learn to follow and obey.
It proved conclusively that until this period an influence against Har-hat had been at work upon Meneptah, and seeing that Rameses had subsided, having cause to propitiate the father of the woman he would wed, the courtiers began to blame the prince and talk of him to one another. He seemed lost in a dream.
We desired to preserve the old division of the land, but Rameses introduced the new to the disadvantage of the priests; we warned him against fresh wars, and the king again and again has taken the field; we had the ancient sacred documents which exempted our peasantry from military service, and, as you know, he outrageously defies them.
Whether the temple were destroyed for materials, for more recent structures, or whether it has sunk under the accumulations of the slimy soil, may be decided by the future excavator. We arrive at the Memnonion. This temple was raised by Rameses the Great.
I was greatly teased about my fondness for "Rameses," as I called this new and majestic pet; there was a great fascination about him, and as I really wished to know more of his ways and habits, I carried the basket in which he lived everywhere with me indoors and out, and studied all possible ways of feeding him; but alas! nothing would induce him to eat.
Ani, do you hear, need not write me a new license, but only renew the old one granted to me by Rameses when I cured his favorite horse. They burnt it with my other possessions, when they plundered my house, and denounced me and my belongings for sorcery. The permit of Rameses is what I want, nothing more." "You shall have it," said the dwarf.
