Hail, O Nile! O you who have manifested yourself on this land and who come in peace to give life to Egypt. Everywhere you water the land, god of grain, lord of fish, breeder of wheat, grower of barley… As soon as he rises, the earth cries out for joy, every belly rejoices, every back shakes with laughter and every tooth grinds. He brings the delicious provisions, creates all good things (…). Stones or statues are not carved in his honor, or mysterious words spoken for his enchantment, the place where he is is not known. However, you rule like a king _________ decrees are established throughout the land.
