And Siduri the godess of the vine said to him:
Woe be unto you Gilgamesh, Where are you hurrying to? You will not find the life that you seek.
When the gods created man they gave him death and retained life for their own keeping. As for you fill your belly with good things night and day, day and night, dance and be merry, Feast and rejoice. Let your clothes be fresh, Bathe yourself in water, cherish the little child who holds your hand and make your lover happy in your embrace; for these too are the lot of man.
