The image contains the following text:

" Hail, mighty Patah! Spirit of life! Lo! we invoke thee, Oh! mighty Patah! Of earth the creator ! Lo! we invoke thee." And the Egyptian priests, the magi, clad in the splen- did robes of the temple, chanted and chanted, with eyes looking heavenward. 1 Hail, thou great maker Of earth and heaven! Lo! we invoke thee! Life of the universe! Oh ! love eternal! Lo ! we invoke thee !" " Farewell, forever!" cried Athothis to Paulus An- drocydes. " Listen ! Radmes is singing— " ' Morir si pura bella, Morir per me d' amore, Degli anni tuoi nel fiore, Fugir la vita.' " Let these words be mine to Amneris." " Stay !" exclaimed Paulus Androcydes, alarmed at the strange emotion displayed by the Egyptian. " Stay, mighty necromancer, do not desert me ! Restore me to the habitation from which you seduced me by false prom- ises. Give me back my body!" " Coward !" retorted Athothis. " To desire mortality after what you have undergone ! Do not cling to me ! LTnhand me, ungrateful man ! See ! Amneris is calling me. She has thrown herself on the stone of the sacred vault, and is singing— " ' Peace everlasting, immortal love, Isis relenting, smiles from above.'
