"She is clothed in pleasure and seduction,
endowed with voluptuousness, glamour, and allure.
Ishtar is clothed in pleasure and seduction,
endowed with voluptuousness, glamour, and allure.

At her lips drips honey-sweetness; her mouth is life itself.
Trysts blossom as suits her nature.
She is splendid; seduction-magics rest upon her head.
Her markings are beautiful; her eyes are prismatic, iridescent.

The pure goddess: command comes from her.
She carries the fate of the world in her hands.
From her attention, prosperity comes into being,
and helpful spirits of all kinds."
~from a Hymn to Ishtar 1600B.C.***
