And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold and raiment: And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required, And they spoiled the Egyptians. - Bible, Exodus (ch. XIII, v. 35-36) Egypt! from whose all dateless tombs arose Forgotten Pharaohs from their long repose, And shook within their pyramids to hear A new Cambyses thundering in their ear; While the dark shades of forty ages stood Like startled giants by Nile's famous flood. - Lord Byron (George Gordon Noel Byron), The Age of Bronze (V) I am dying, Egypt, dying. - William Shakespeare, Antony and Cleopatra (Antony at IV, xv)
