So saith the Ancient Wisdom, O Nitocris; and therefore, as thou hast loved Nefer the Prince, so shalt thou also hate Menkau Ra and Anemen Ha, his murderers and the destroyers of his promised happiness." SO SAITH THE ANCIENT WISDOM O NIDIQUIS AND THEREFORE AS THOU HAST LOVED NEPHER THE PRINCE SO SHALT THOU ALSO HATE MANKURAH AND AMENHA HIS MURDERERS AND THE DESTROYERS OF HIS PROMISED HAPPINESS
-Rim[=o]n? Can the gods indeed have permitted such a thing to be? Can the All-Father have given His Chief Minister to be the instrument of such a foul crime and monstrous impiety as this?" And he replied, slowly and sadly: "Yes, it is true, Nitocris, true that thou art now Queen in the land by the will of the great Rameses; and true also it is that the shade of Nefer is now waiting in the halls of Amenti till his murderers shall be sent by the hand of a just vengeance into the presence of the Divine Assessors." "Ah yes, vengeance," she replied, turning towards him with a gasp in her voice, "that must come; but whose hand shall cast the spear or draw the bow? We claim kinship with the gods, but we are not the gods, and what mortal hand could avenge a crime like this?" "A woman's hand is soft and a woman's lips are sweet, yet what so cruel or so merciless in all the world as a woman? As there is nothing liker Heaven than a woman's love, so there is nothing liker Hell than a woman's hate. THE DEPTHS BEYOND THEM CAN IT BE TRUE MARI CAN THE GODS HAVE INDEED PERMITTED SUCH A THING TO BE CAN THE ALL FATHER HAVE GIVEN HIS CHIEF MINISTER TO BE THE INSTRUMENT OF SUCH A FAL CRIME AND MONSTROUS IMPIETY AS THIS AND HE REPLIED SLOWLY AND SADLY YES IT IS TRUE NITICRUS TRUE THAT THAT THOU ART NOW QUEEN IN THE LAND BY THE WILL OF THE GREAT RAMESES AND TRUE ALSO IT IS THAT THE SHADE OF NEPHER IS NOW WAITING IN THE HALLS OF AMENTY TILL HIS MURDERERS SHALL BE SENT BY THE HAND OF A JUST VENGEANCE INTO THE PRESENCE OF THE DIVINE ASSESSORS AH YES VENGEANCE SHE REPLIED TURNING TOWARDS HIM WITH A GASP IN HER VOICE THAT MUST COME BY WHOSE HAND SHALL CAST THE SPEAR OR DRAW THE BOW WE CLAIM KINSHIP WITH THE GODS BUT WE ARE NOT THE GODS AND WHAT MORTAL HAND COULD AVENGE A CRIME LIKE THIS A WOMAN'S HAND IS SOFT AND A WOMAN'S LIPS ARE SWEET YET WHAT SO CRUEL OR SO MERCILESS IN ALL THE WORLD AS A WOMAN AS IS NOTHING LIKER HEAVEN THAN A WOMAN'S LOVE SO THERE IS NOTHING LIKER HELL THAN A WOMAN'S HATE
