[00:00.24]Gilgamesh opened his mouth and answered sovereign Ishtar:
[00:12.87]“If I take you in marriage, what gifts can I give in return?
[00:19.74]What ointments and clothing for your body?
[00:26.94]I would gladly give you bread and all sorts of goods fit for a god.
[00:44.28]But as for making you my wife- that I will not.
[00:51.39]Your lovers have found you like a brazier which smoulders in the cold,
[00:52.86]A backdoor which keeps out neither squall of wind nor storm,
[00:57.78]Pitch that blackens the bearer
[00:58.38]A water-skin that chafes the carrier.
[01:02.37]Which of your lovers did you ever love forever?
[01:03.63]Listen to me while I tell the tale of your lovers.
[01:06.24]There was Tammuz*, the lover of your youth,
[01:07.02]For him you decreed wailing, year after year.
[01:17.79]You loved the many-coloured roller,
[01:21.48]But still you struck and broke his wing
[01:22.35]Now in the grove he sits and cries “my wing, my wing”.
[01:39.87]You have loved the lion tremendous in strength,
[01:51.00]Seven pits* you dug for him, and seven.
[01:57.36]You have loved the stallion magnificent in battle
[02:04.14]And for him you decreed whip and spur and a thong,
[02:09.72]You have loved the shepherd of the flock,
[02:15.33]For you, day after day, he killed kids for your sake.
[02:18.51]You struck and turned him into a wolf,
[02:19.38]now his own hounds worry his flanks.”
