Egypt

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.
Byron—The Age of Bronze. V.

And they spoiled the Egyptians.
Exodus. XII. 36.

I am dying, Egypt, dying.
Antony and Cleopatra. Act IV. Sc. 15. L. 18.
