‘…When Anu heard this, he called for the Bull of Heaven,
And handed its nose rope to the Princess Ishtar.
Ishtar led the Bull of Heaven down to earth.
*
When the Bull of Heaven snorts on the earth,
a crack will open in the land and swallow all the men-folk…
*
When the Bull of Heaven snorts a second time on the earth,
the land will crack open further and swallow all the women-folk…
*
When the Bull of Heaven snorts a third time on the earth,
the land will crack open still further and swallow all the child-folk…
*
I will cast your corpse down the narrow streets,
that the city orphans may gorge on it.
*
I will toss your innards to the city dogs,
that they might fight over them.
*
I will present your two horns to Shamash
to serve as a flask for his sweet oils.’
