<poem> | |||
Ishtar spoke to her father, Anu, saying: | |||
"Father, give me the Bull of Heaven, | |||
so he can kill Gilgamesh in his dwelling. | |||
If you do not give me the Bull of Heaven, | |||
I will knock down the Gates of the Netherworld, | |||
I will smash the door posts, and leave the doors flat down, | |||
and will let the dead go up to eat the living! | |||
And the dead will outnumber the living!" | |||
