Horns of gold

(a)
Love charm, love charm! ~(1)
His horns are of gold,
His tail is of pure lapis,
It is placed in Ishtar's heart.

(b)
I called to her, but she did not come back to me, ~(5)
I whistled* at her,[1] but she did not look at me.
If she is "consecrated," may her lover fall,
If she has been taken, may her accuser fall.[2]

(c)
(May this) marriageable girl, a young lady of good family,
Fall at my clamor, at my call. [3] ~(10)
May the dough fall from her hands,[4]
May the young man fall who is at her side.

(d)
Don't lock your house against me,
Don't even look at the latchstring in your hand!
Look at me as if I were (your) tether,
Lick me over as if I were (your newborn) calf!*~(15)
Why did you wrap your head with my love,
like a headband?
Tie it around your waist, like a belt?
Stroke your [body] with [the happly glow]
of my fa[ce],* as if it were oil?[5]
