lives no more, the wild bull who has lain down, lives no more… Inanna opened the door for him.

Inside the house she shone before him like the light of the moon.

Dumuzi looked at her joyously.

He pressed his neck close against hers. He kissed her.

Inanna spoke:

My vulva, the horn,

The Boat of Heaven, Is full of eagerness like the young moon.

My untilled land lies fallow.

Who will plow my high field?

Who will plow my wet ground?
