         “Then Set aimed a blow of fire at the eye of Horus,

and Horus shouted aloud with the pain of the fire, and raged furiously, and cried,

         “It is Set, and he has smitten me with fire on the eyes. …”

          “Over his head he brandished the weapon as though it were a reed,

and he launched it at the great red hippopotamus which stood in the deep waters,

ready to destroy Horus and his Followers when the storm should wreck their boats.
