"The river of the nether world produces no water, no water is drunk from it. {( 1 ms. adds: ) Why should you sail?} The fields of the nether world produce no grain, no flour is eaten from it. {( 1 ms. adds: ) Why should you sail?} The sheep of the nether world produce no wool, no cloth is woven from it. {( 1 ms. adds: ) Why should you sail?} As for me, even if my mother digs as if for a canal, I shall not be able to drink the water meant for me. The waters of springtime will not be poured for me as they are for the tamarisks; I shall not sit in the shade intended for me. The dates I should bear like a date palm will not reveal (?) their beauty for me. I am a field threshed by my demon -- you would scream at it. He has put manacles on my hands -- you would scream at it. He has put a neck-stock on my neck -- you would scream at it."

Enlil went. Ninlil followed. Nunamnir went, the maiden chased him. Enlil approached the man of the Id-kura ( river of the underworld ) , the man-eating river. "My man of the Id-kura , the man-eating river! When your lady Ninlil comes, if she asks after me, don't you tell her where I am!" Ninlil approached the man of the Id-kura , the man-eating river. "My man of the Id-kura , the man-eating river! When did your lord Enlil go by?", she said to him. Enlil answered as the man of the Id-kura : "My lord has not talked with me at all, O loveliest one. Enlil has not talked with me at all, O loveliest one." "I will make clear my aim and explain my intent. You can fill my womb once it is empty -- Enlil , lord of all the lands, has had sex with me! Just as Enlil is your lord, so am I your lady!" "If you are my lady, let my hand touch your ……!" "The seed of your lord, the bright seed, is in my womb. The seed of Suen , the bright seed, is in my womb." "My master's seed can go up to the heavens! Let my seed go downwards! Let my seed go downwards, instead of my master's seed!" Enlil , as the man of the Id-kura , got her to lie down in the chamber. He had intercourse with her there, he kissed her there. At this one intercourse, at this one kissing he poured into her womb the seed of Ninazu , the king who stretches measuring lines over the fields.
