From translated text found in this book.
“Seven are they! Seven are they!
In oceans deep, seven are they!
Battening in haven, seven are they!
Bread in the depths of the oceans, seven are they!
Not male or female are they,
But are as the roaming wild-blast.
No wife have they , no sons can they beget;
Knowing neither pity nor mercy,
They harken not to prayers, to prayers
They are as horses reared amid the hills,
The Evil ones of Ea;
Throne-bearers to the gods are they
Seven are they, seven are they!
………….”
