Chapter LXXVI
1hapter whereby all forms are assumed which one pleaseth.
2I have made my way into the Royal Palace, and it was the Bird-Fly who brought me hither.
3Hail to thee, who fliest up to Heaven, to give light to the stars and protect the White Crown which falleth to me.
4Stable art thou, O mighty god, for ever. Make thou for me a path upon which I may pursue my course.
