A Quest Into The 77th Novel

He gave me the noble, enduring crown
He gave me the high throne of kingship
He gave me the imperial, regal sceptre
He gave me the laws of the realm
He gave me the facts of the Kurgarra
He gave me descend in this undersphere
He gave me the dagger;
he gave me the sword
He gave me the staff and unphallic wand
He gave me concern
He gave me dismay
He gave me consternation
He gave me the art of this song
He gave me procreation
Dumuzi!
A magician’s lapis-lazuli gleams in Urik, descending to my undersphere
A magician’s lapis-lazuli reflects onto the Temples of Offal
A magician’s lapis-lazuli excels in Ur, descending to their underworld
Is placed on Shugurra, the crown of the Steppe
He gave me the craft of the spell;
he gave me determination
He gave me the craft of a charm;
he gave me an invocation
He gave me wine of Geshtinanna;
he gave me determination
He gave me oracles of the lil;
he gave me half a year
He gave me a sail on an Anzu-Bird;
he gave me notes of thunder
He gave me the feathers from it’s wing;
he gave me regalement
He gave me a mark of the fiend;
he gave me roots from the Huluppu-Tree;
He gave me travel of the Apzu;
he gave me the Lapis-Lazuli
A Magician’s Lapis-Lazuli!
