Plain text of A song of blessing for Ishme-Dagan (Ishme-Dagan J)

1-8 Lady, going to the sweet-voiced cows and gentle-voiced calves in the cattle-pen, young woman, when you arrive there, may the churn sound! May the churn sound!

9-14 The rocking of the churn will sing for you, may it thus make you joyous! The good shepherd, the man of sweet songs, will loudly sing songs for you; lady, with all the sweetest things, may he make your heart joyous!

15-20 Lady, when you enter the cattle-pen, the cattle-pen will indeed rejoice over you. Mistress, when you enter the sheepfold, the sheepfold will indeed rejoice over you. When you enter the feeding-pen, healthy ewes will spread out their wool for you.

21-24 May the holy sheepfold abundantly provide you with butter, may the cattle-pen produce butter and cream for you! May abundance endure in the sheepfold, may the days of Ishme-Dagan be numerous!
