"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! | |||
