Oh my brother... What a dream I saw last night! Anu, Ellil, Ea, and heavenly Shamash were in the assembly And Ea said to Ellil, 'As they have slain the bull of heaven, so too they have slain Huwawa, who guarded the mountains planted with pines' And Anu said, 'One of them must die' Pain! Ellil replied: 'Let Enkidu die, but let Gilgamesh not die' Turn to me, you! You aren't listening to me! But he cannot lift his head I touch his heart, but it does not beat at all Bear, hyena, leopard, tiger Stag, cheetah, lion, mountain goat And other wild beasts shall weep for you Now, what is the sleep That has taken hold of you? Turn to me, Enkidu! The pure Euphrates And young men of the broad city Of Uruk the sheepfold Who watched the fighting When we struck down The bull of heaven Shall weep for you!
