<poem>
Spoke Ishar to her father Ànu with this speech;
"O Father! Give the Bull of the Gods unto me
for he may kill Gwôlagamesh in his halls.
If you do not give the Bull of the Gods unto me,
Then I will drum on the gates of the dead lands,
Then I will crush the edges of the gate and allow the gate to lie low,
Then I will allow that the dead may eat the living,
Then the dead shall be more than the living!
