ANCIENT EGYPT POETRY



Triumph Song

This army returned in safety,

It has hacked up the land of the Sand-dwellers.

This army returned in safety,

It has destroyed the land of the Sand-dwellers.

This army returned in safety,

It has overturned their strongholds.

This army returned in safety,

It has cut down their figs and vines.

This army returned in safety,

It has thrown fire on all their troops.

This army returned in safety,

It has slain tens of thousands of soldiers.

This army returned in safety,

It has seized multitudes of living captives.


CHANGING FORTUNE

Once a fugitive fled in his terror,

Now I am known, in the palace of the Pharaoh.

Once a weary one fainted from hunger,

Now I have bread to give to my neighbour.

Once a man fled from Egypt all naked,

Now I am clothed in white linen garments.

Once a man ran to take his own message,

Now I have slaves and servants in plenty.

Fair in my house and wide is my dwelling,

For I am known in the palace of Pharaoh.
