great hill established by incantations, twilit interior in which moonlight does not shine,

O house Keš, your brickwork and your molding of it!
Your terrace! Your exterior, a lustrous su crown, and your building of it!
Your princess, the silencing princess, the true and great lady of heaven —
when she talks heaven trembles, when she opens her mouth a storm thunders —
