A praise poem of Šulgi (Šulgi E)

They have composed šir-gida songs, royal praise poetry, šumunša, kunĝar and balbale compositions about how I carried warfare across the sea to the south, how I jerked up the hostile land of Elam as if it were grass by a gateway, how in the uplands I xx the people like grain, how I trekked the length of the mountains in battle, how I travel about indefatigably in the mountain uplands like an old donkey on the road, and about my expeditions xx.
