let my soul be with You
May I come into being upon Your thighs
May I be as You are forever and forever
May I be glorious in Antinous the Beautiful
Triumphant, powerful, Beautiful
Beautiful rudder of heaven
Revolver of heaven, pilot of the Earth
Shinning above the Temple of the Gods
Traversing eternity
His existence being forever
May I be in the presence of Antinous
The God Beautiful and Beloved
May I speak with You
May I be a glorified soul with You
Give to me my mouth
That I may speak with it
May I follow my heart at its season of fire and night
Eternity He is and everlasting
Eternity is His day
Everlasting is His night
I am Antinous in His appearance
May I be given His plumes upon my head
Bringer of the boat of millions of years
Strong are your sails and rudder ropes
In the wind as you sail
Over the Lake of Fire in the underworld
Seventy-two princes fall on their faces
Quicker than greyhounds,
Swifter than light
I pass through heaven before the starry beings
Making forms of existence from the thigh
I am the divine being
I sit at the side of heaven
I am the lotus coming forth from the God of Light
Be opened to me the doors of heaven
Not shall my soul be imprisoned,
May the great god unbolt for me His two jaws
That I may pass through the lake of flowers
Advancing in peace
At my entrance of peace
Coming forth in peace
