Here is the first stanza (or "paragraph of poetry")
"This is the story of a man who knew all that could be known. He saw the hidden things from the time before the Flood. He built the walls of Uruk. Climb those walls. Examine their foundations; marvel at their brickwork. No other city can rival strong-walled Uruk. Within the city is a temple, and within the temple is a cedar box. Open the box. Take out the tablets and read the story of Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh--the wild bull, perfect in strength, surpassing all others. Gilgamesh, the hero–immense and terrible. Who other than Gilgamesh can say: “I am king without equal”? Gilgamesh was his name before birth. The great goddess Aruru designed his body. Two-thirds god she made him, and one-third man. Shamash the Sun gave him beauty. Adad the Storm gave him courage. Gilgamesh, strongest of all! Long was his journey, and arduous his labors. Weary, he returned to city of Uruk and inscribed this story."
