The Egyptians possessed much interesting literature, of which poetry formed an important part. The hymns to Ra, Amen, and Hapi, and that of Akhenaten to the Sun's Disk, are all beautiful specimens; and so, likewise, is the epic poem to King Rameses, known as the "Poem of Pentaur."

— Mary Cecil, 2nd Baroness Amherst of Hackney A Sketch of Egyptian History (1904)
