But since the ancient dread of thy spirit is an obstacle to thee, do thou, aged partner of my bed, high-born dame, cease from these wailings and groans of thine, and give me a clear account. Human calamities will befal mankind. For many ills arise to mortals by sea, and many by land, if their more lengthened life be far protracted.

Poi che tanto può l'antica reverenza entro il tuo petto,
parla tu, nobil vegliarda, tu, compagna del mio letto.
Lascia i pianti, lascia gli ululi, parla chiaro. Questi mali
saran quelli a cui soggetti sono pur tutti i mortali:
ché per gli uomini, allorquando la lor vita troppo dura,
805
e dal mare e dalla terra sorge piú d'una sventura.

Nay, but if the old-time terror on your spirit keeps its hold,
Speak thou, O royal lady who didst couch with me of old!
Stay thy weeping and lamenting and to me reveal the truth—
Speak! for man is born to sorrow; yea, the proverb sayeth sooth!
720
'Tis the doom of mortal beings, if they live to see old age,
To suffer bale, by land and sea, through war and tempest's rage.

Weil die Scheu der alten Ehrfurcht euren Sinn gefesselt hält:
Auf, Genossin meines Lagers, greise, hochgeborne Frau,
Hemme du denn deine Thränen, deinen Schmerz, und ohne Hehl
Rede mir! Leicht überfällt wohl menschlich Leid die Sterblichen;
680
Viele Noth auf Meeresfluten, viele Noth zu Lande stürmt
Auf die Menschen, wenn in weite Ferne sich ihr Leben dehnt.
