The details of the meeting are described with a frank simplicity that points again to the antiquity of the legend.

For six days and seven nights Eabani enjoyed the love of Ukhat.

After he had satiated himself with her charms,

He turned his countenance to his cattle.

The reposing gazelles saw Eabani,

The cattle of the field turned away from him.

Eabani was startled and grew faint,

His limbs grew stiff as his cattle ran off.

But Ukhat has gained control of him. He gives up the thought of gazelles and cattle, and returns to enjoy the love of Ukhat. His senses return,

And he again turns in love, enthralled at the feet of the harlot,
