Rise, woman, (and go) to the world of living beings; come, this man near whom you sleep is lifeless;you have enjoyed this state of being the wife of your husband, the suitor who took you by the band.
Rise, come unto the world of life, O woman: come, he is lifeless by whose side thou liest. Wifehood with this thy husband was thy portion, who took thy hand and wooed thee as a lover.
