Plain text of Chapter XCVIII
Chapter whereby one saileth a ship in the Netherworld.
Oh thou Leg in the Northern Sky, and in that most conspicuous but inaccessible Stream; I rise up and come to light, I am conspicuous but inaccessible.
I rise up and live, and bring myself to light.
I cackle even as the Smen-goose, but I stoop like the hawk at the nets of the Great Fowler.
I sail across the sky, and the breath-giver standeth erect and the Achmiu stars are instantly active in raising the ladder which lifts the setting stars away from destruction.
And I bear that which repelleth mischief as I make my voyage over the Leg.
I come from the lake of flame, from the lake of fire, and from the field of flame, and I live....
I stand erect in the bark which the pilot is piloting ... at the head of Aarru, and the Achmiu stars open to me ... and my fellow citizens present to me the sacred cakes with flesh.
