Bethink thee, the young steed, the orphan foal
Of sire beloved by thee, unto the car
Of doom is harnessed fast.
Guide him aright, plant firm a lasting goal,
890
Speed thou his pace,—O that no chance may mar
The homeward course, the last!

Mira il giovin rampollo

a cui grava sul collo
delle sciagure il plaustro.

Il corso tu misura

su questo suolo dell'orma secura?
Contro le genti infeste

Giove, fa' tu che Oreste
pianti securo il piede:
ché se lo esalti, duplice
e triplice ne avrai lieta mercede.

Schau' herab
auf des lieben Vaters Waise.
Erstes Rennen wagt das Füllen,
nicht zu schwere
Prüfung verlange von ihm; unermüdet flieg' er
durch die Bahn,
Sprung um Sprung,
rasch und rascher zum Ziele.
Dem drinnen im Hause
gieb über die Feinde
die Oberhand, Zeus.
Sein Opfer an deinen Altären
wird doppelt und dreifach es lohnen.
