And tremble at the long-protracted time.

Il Signore dei frequenti asíaci popoli

furioso, da due bande spinse d'uomini
una greggia innumerevole
su la terra dei nemici, qua pedoni, là dal pelago.
Fieri i duci saldi, affidano alla prova
questo principe che, ai Numi pari, è germine
85
della stirpe che nascea dall'aurea piova.

From the land to the land they pass over, a herd at the high king's hest;
Some by the way of the waves, and some o'er the planking have pressed.
For the king is a lord and a god: he was born of the golden seed

That erst upon Danae fell—his captains are strong at the need!

Der im volkreichen Gefild' Asia's stolzthronende Fürst,
Weit in das Land treibt er die wildstürmende Heerde:
Er gebeut Streitern zu Fuß, Kämpfern des Meeres,
75
Von gewaltigen Feldherrn,
Von verwegnen geschirmt,
Goldenen Thau's himmlischer Sohn, ähnlich den Göttern.
Zweite Strophe.
