Let us embrace, my bridegroom! Come, let us rejoice in play! Let us embrace, my
Ama-ucum! Come, let us rejoice in play! Friend of An, lord, my heart's desire, cheering the mood, gladdening
the heart: may you be our sun god! I will go to the lord, I will talk with him,
I will say to the lord of my heart:
10-19"...... with Enlil, and my father, Suen, chose you in his heart. I myself chose you in my heart; you are the man of the heart. He has placed on your head for me the good headdress and the holy crown. You shall stand in service before the great gods, the Anuna gods who shine forth radiantly. Let us embrace, my bridegroom! Let us lie on my flowered bed! Let us embrace, my Ama-ucum! Let us lie on my flowered bed!"
