1–2 Enki loves the love-charm,
3–4 The love-charm, Ištar’s son, [sit]ting in [her?/his? l]ap,
5–6 Turning here through the sap of the incense-tree.
6–7 You, Oh two beautiful maidens, are blooming!
8–9 To the garden you come down, indeed come down to the garden!
10–11 You have drunk(?) the sap of the incense-tree.
12 I have seized now your(f.) drooling mouth (lit. “mouth of sap”),
13–14 I have seized your(f.) shining eyes,
15–16 I have seized your(f.) vulva, (the place of) urine.
17–18 I leaped to the garden of Sîn,
19–20 I cut the poplar tree for her day.
21–22 Encircle(f.) me between the boxwood trees, as the shepherd encircles the flock,
23–24 As the goat (encircles) its kid, the sheep its lamb, the mare its foal!
25 His arms are adorned,
26–27 Oil and (the sound of) harp – his lips.
28–29 A cup of oil in his hands, a cup of cedar fragrance on his shoulders.
30–31 The love-charms have persuaded her, driven her to ecstasy –
33–34 I conjure you(f.) by the name of Ištar and Išḫara:
35–38 ‘Until his neck and your(f.) neck are not entwined – you(f.) shall not find peace!’
