Enlil went. Ninlil followed. Nunamnir went, the maiden chased him. Enlil approached SI.LU.IGI, the man of the ferryboat. SI.LU.IGI, my man of the ferryboat! When your lady Ninlil comes, if she asks after me, don't you tell her where I am! Ninlil approached the man of the ferryboat. Man of the ferryboat! When did your lord Enlil go by?, she said to him. Enlil answered as the man SI.LU.IGI: My lord has not talked with me at all, O loveliest one. Enlil has not talked with me at all, O loveliest one. I will make clear my aim and explain my intent. You can fill my womb once it is empty -- Enlil, king of all the lands, has had sex with me! Just as Enlil is your lord, so am I your lady! If you are my lady, let my hand touch your ……! The seed of your lord, the bright seed, is in my womb. The seed of Suen, the bright seed, is in my womb. My master's seed can go up to the heavens! Let my seed go downwards! Let my seed go downwards, instead of my master's seed! Enlil, as SI.LU.IGI, got her to lie down in the chamber. He had intercourse with her there, he kissed her there. At this one intercourse, at this one kissing he poured into her womb the seed of Enbilulu, the inspector of canals.

You are lord! You are king! Enlil, you are lord! You are king! Nunamnir, you are lord! You are king! You are supreme lord, you are powerful lord! Lord who makes flax grow, lord who makes barley grow, you are lord of heaven, lord plenty, lord of the earth! You are lord of the earth, lord plenty, lord of heaven! Enlil in heaven, Enlil is king! Lord whose utterances whose pronouncements cannot be altered at all! His primordial utterances will not be changed! For the praise spoken for Ninlil the mother, praise be to the Great Mountain, Father Enlil!
