== Notes ==

* The document derives from two different sources:
** The text for which the document is named (''"The whole assembly... 'think on forever'"'' and ''"'Those that lie... choice of life.'"'') is an excerpt from Chapter 48 of the book ''[https://www.online-literature.com/samuel-johnson/rasselas/48/ Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia]'' by English writer Samuel Johnson.
** The "error" text (''"Homage to you...you are the"'') is taken from the Egyptian Book of the Dead, a set of spells and texts meant to prepare and send off the deceased into the afterlife, specifically from the [https://www.realhistoryww.com/world_history/ancient//Misc/Egypt/p_Hymn_Osiris.htm Hymn to Osiris]. Strangely, the "All the gods praise you, for you are the" text appears to be original, as there is no similar text or summation found, save for the following text from the hymn<blockquote>The companies of the gods praise you, and the gods of the tuat (other world) smell the earth in paying homage to you.</blockquote>
