170 A HYMN OF VICTOEY OH. viii.

gather together for thee | the wandering Nubians by tens of
thousands and thousands. | Those who inhabit the North
shall be taken prisoners by hundreds of thousands. | (6) I make
thy enemies to fall under thy feet. | Smite the hosts of thine
enemies. [ Thus I commit to thee the earth, in its length and
in its breadth. Let the inhabitants of the West and of the
East be subject to thee.
(7) Pass through with joyful heart the lands which none have
trodden till thy time. | I will be thy leader ; reach them.
Pass through the great ring of water | (8) in the land of
Naharain, in full victorious power, j It is my will that the
peoples hear thy war-cry, which penetrates into their caverns. |
I have taken away from their nostrils the breath of life. | (9)
I make thy manly courage to penetrate even to their hearts, j
My crown on thy head is a consuming fire : | It goes forth
and conquers the false brood of the Kittim. | (10) By its-
flaming beams the lords among them are turned to ashes. |
It cuts off the heads of the Aamu ; they cannot escape. |
It strikes to the ground every one who turns his back before-
its strength.
(11) I make thy victories to go on through all nations. | My
royal serpent shines on thy forehead, | And thy enemy is.
annihilated as far as the horizon. | They come and bear the
tribute on their shoulders, | And bow themselves (12) before
thy Majesty, | for such is my will. | I make the rebel fall
down exhausted near thee, | A burning fire in his heart, and
a trembling in his limbs.

(13) I came, and thou smotest the princes of Zahi.

I scatter them under thy feet over all their lands.

I make them behold thy Majesty like the beaming (sun).

Thou shinest in sight of them in my form.

(14) I came, and thou smotest those who dwell in Asia :
Thou madest prisoners the shepherds of Euthen.

I make them behold thy Majesty in the panoply of thy royal

dignity,
How thou graspest the weapons on thy war-chariot.

(15) I came, and thou smotest the land of the East :
Thou earnest to those who dwell in the Holy Land.

I make them behold thy Majesty like the star Canopus,
"Which pours out his light in a fiery glow,
When he disperses the morning dew.

(16) I came, and thou smotest the land of the West :
Kefa (Phoenicia) and Asebi (Cyprus) fear thee.

I make them behold thy Majesty like a young bull.

Full of courage, his horns whetted, he is unapproachable..
