But SETNE out into the light above / Returned, and saw the light with a great love; / And sealed the tomb, and stood at PHARAOH'S throne / And told his doings and the end thereof.
And PHARAOH said to SETNE: 'These be vain / Doings. Go back and give the dead again / His book, as a wise man to a wise man, / Now, lest thou give it some day with much pain.'
