Osiris Invocation II Hail O Osiris Wake O Osiris Arise O Osiris Thy Mother Nuit gives thee birth The great company of gods would converse with thee Take thy seat, Osiris, For none shall offend thee, Thine enemies are beneath thee, All honor is given To Osiris, Lord of the Dead. For Osiris was feasting at his table And walking in the peace of his garden When Set, his brother adversary, Armed with many henchmen, Lay upon him with weapons And they slew the good Osiris, Lord of the Earth beneath us. So that his Queen might not revive him With all her goodly magicks, Set cut his brother’s body Into seventeen different pieces And flung them into the swamps of the Nile. So died the good Osiris For the second time, And the sun was dimmed, And the West ran red as with blood. And Isis searched for him for three days, And in three days we will find her. Weep for him, once King of the Gods! (All weep and wail. The lights are put out, and the wailing continues as all exit.)
