Spell for fetching a ferry-boat in the sky

Hail to you, you plateau which is in the sky north of the Great Waterway, for whoever sees it will not die. I stand upon you, I appear as a god, I cackle as a goose, I fly up thence as the falcon upon the branches.

O Dew of the Great One, I cross the earth towards the sky, I stand up as Shu, I make the sunshine to flourish on the sides of the ladder which is made to mount up to the Unwearying Stars, far from decapitation. Bring me those who repel evil when I have passed you by at the polar region of Tepen.

'Where have you come from?'

'O Tepen, I have come from the Lake of Burning in the Field of Fire.'

'What did you live on in the Lake of Burning in the Field of Fire?'

'I lived on that noble tree of Ikaa who brought these boats from the Dried-up Lake for me. The water-jar was on ... that I might stand in the Sacred Bark and guide the waters; that I might stand in the Sacred Bark and conduct the god; that I might stand up, my staff being a rod.'

'Go aboard and sail.' The gates are opened for me in Letopolis, the earth is split open for me in Wenu, and the staffs have been given to me in respect of my inheritance.
