| "My sister, let the shepherd marry you! Maiden Inana, why are you unwilling? { His butter is good, his milk is good } { (2 mss. have instead:) He of good butter, he of good milk } -- all the work of the shepherd's hands is splendid. Inana, let Dumuzid marry you. You who wear jewellery, who wear šuba jewels, why are you unwilling? { (1 ms. adds 2 lines:) His butter is good, his milk is good -- all the work of the shepherd's hands is splendid. } He will eat his good butter with you. Protector of the king, why are you unwilling?" |
