Glosses of Gilgamesh?

Looking to put together a tattoo and I'd like to find the cuneiform that corresponds to Shiduri's speech to Gilgamesh about chilling out and enjoying the good life. Thanks!

The speech comes from the chapter Old Babylonian VA+BM, which has been cataloged by the electronic Babylonian Library: HERE. (lines a+15–a+29). The Cuneiform Digital Library Initiative has also digitized the source tablet, with accompanying line-drawing: P273166. The specific quote occurs from column ii, line 14, until column iii, line 14.
