The following is the specimen of a panegyrical Ode:"
" Amon delights thy heart ;
he gives thee great honor ;
a delightful time has been made to follow thee ;
thy life is blessed, thy aim is well;
thy eye is clear to perceive,
thy dress is plaited ;
thou leadest the horses of thy chariot of gold in thy hand ;
thou placest . . . thy yoke . . .
the Kharu and the Nahsi are dragged before thee,
when thou makest thy appearance ;
