No; but I came in haste to the ancient statues of the divinities, trusting in the gods, when there was a pattering at our gates of destructive sleet showering down, even then I was carried away by terror to offer my supplications to the Immortals, that they would extend their protection over the city.

je me suis seulement ruée sur les vieilles statues de nos dieux, mettant mon espoir dans le Ciel, au premier grondement de l'avalanche meurtrière qui dévale contre nos portes. C'est alors que l'effroi m'a jetée
vers les Bienheureux, pour les supplier d'étendre leurs secours sur notre cité !

Yet therefore to these ancient images,
Confiding in their sacred pow'r, I ran,

Ai simulacri vetusti dei Dèmoni
corsi a rifugio, fidente nei Superi,
quando alle porte fu strepito e turbine

di nevicante procella funerea.
Esterrefatta mi volsi ai Celesti,
che sovra noi la difesa protendano.

Ah, but I fled to the shrines, I called to our helpers on high,
When the stone-shower roared at the portals!

I sped to the temples aloft, and loud was my call and my cry,
Look down and deliver, Immortals!

Hin zu den alten Bildsäulen der Himmlischen
Eilt' ich vertrauenvoll, als der empörte Sturm
Graus und verderbenschwer unter den Thoren scholl;
Aufgeschreckt wandt' ich da mich an die Götter im Gebet,

Hold über die Stadt zu wachen.
