DALKHAMUN

OUT OF CONFUSION LAHMU AND LAHAMU
THE PRIMORDIAL SILT ROSE
OUT OF THE MIST ANSHAR AND KISHAR
THE VAST SKY AND THE EARTH SEPARATED

AND THEY BEGOT ANU AND ANU BEGOT EA
THE GREAT SPIRIT RULER SUPREME
AND FROM ABSU AND TIAMAT WERE BORN
MANY EVIL SPIRITS THAT CAUSED CALAMITY

AND THEY DID TROUBLE TIAMAT'S BELLY
AND THEY DID WREAK GREAT HAVOC
LAHMU AND LAHAMU, ANSHAR AND KISHAR
ANU AND EA, THEY REMAINED SPEECHLESS

BUT EA THE ALL-WISE DEVISED A MASTER DESIGN
ENKI THE LORD OF THE EARTH AND SWEET WATERS
BY SPELL MUMMU WAS PUT TO SLEEP AND SLAIN
BY SPELL ABSU WAS PUT TO SLEEP AND SLAIN
