Chapter XXVII
1hapter whereby the Heart of a person is not taken from him in the Netherworld.
2O ye gods who seize upon Hearts, and who pluck out the Whole Heart; and whose hands fashion anew the Heart of a person according to what he hath done; lo now, let that be forgiven to him by you.
3Hail to you, O ye Lords of Everlasting Time and Eternity!
4Let not my Heart be torn from me by your fingers.
5Let not my Heart be fashioned anew according to all the evil things said against me.
6For this Heart of mine is the Heart of the god of mighty names, of the great god whose words are in his members, and who giveth free course to his Heart which is within him.
7And most keen of insight is his Heart among the gods. Ho to me! Heart of mine; I am in possession of thee, I am thy master, and thou art by me; fall not away from me; I am the dictator to whom thou shalt obey in the Netherworld.
