"Dearest child, this bright star from heaven,
this huge boulder that you could not lift -
it stands for a dear friend, a mighty hero.
You will take him in your arms, embrace and caress him
the way a man caresses his wife.
She also called this person ‘the companion of his heart’."
Upon meeting him in the underworld:
If I am going to tell you the rules of the Netherworld that I saw,
sit you down (and) weep!”
“[(So)] let me sit down and weep!” [Gilgamesh]
“[My friend, the] penis that you touched so your heart rejoiced,
grubs devour [(it) … like an] old garment.
[My friend, the crotch that you] touched so your heart rejoiced,
it is filled with dust [like a crack in the ground.]
