The Hymn of the Robe of Glory, The Hymns of Hermes #178479

8 They girt me with Adamant [also] That hath power to cut even iron. 9 My Glorious Robe they took off me Which in their love they had wrought me, 10 And my Purple Mantle [also] Which was woven to match with my stature. 11 And with me They [then] made a compact; In my heart wrote it, not to forget it: 12 "If thou goest down into Egypt, And thence thou bring’st the one Pearl-- 13 "[The Pearl] that lies in the Sea, Hard by the loud-breathing Serpent,-- 14 "[Then] shalt Thou put on thy Robe And thy Mantle that goeth upon it, 15 "And with thy Brother, Our Second, Shalt thou be Heir in our Kingdom."
