Repulsing Serpents
[From the Papyrus of Nu (British Museum No. 10,477, sheet 6).]
THE CHAPTER OF REPULSING SERPENTS (OR WORMS). Nu, the overseer of the
palace, the chancellor-in-chief, triumphant, saith:
“Hail, thou serpent Rerek, advance not hither. Behold Seb and Shu. Stand
still now, and thou shalt eat the rat which is an abominable thing unto
Rā, and thou shalt crunch the bones of the filthy cat.”
