"Your lock has no rival. Your bolt is a fearsome lion. Your roof beams are the bull of heaven, an artfully made bright headgear. Your reed-mats are like lapis lazuli, decorating the roof-beams. Your vault is a { bull } { (some mss. have instead:) wild bull } raising its horns. Your door is a lion who { seizes a man } { (1 ms. has instead:) is awe-inspiring }. Your stairway is a lion coming down on a man."
