And what should we all chance to be 2 ? Is it possible to wheedle the wrongs which we endure from those that gave us birth 3 ? But some things cannot be soothed; for, like a ravening wolf, my mind is from my mother implacable 4 .

Dirai-je les souffrances que nous devons à une mère ? On peut essayer
de les apaiser : pour elles, il n'est point de calmant ! Ma mère elle-même a fait de mon cœur un loup carnassier que rien jamais n'apaisera.

But with what words to woo her? Speak aloud
The miſeries which we ſuffer from our parents?
480
Or ſmooth our tongues to glozing courtesy?
That ſoftens not our miſeries: and our ſpirits,
Rous'd by the wrongs of our ungentle mother,
Contract a wolfish fierceneſs.

Che posso io dire, che affretti l'esito
285
della mia brama? Forse i tormenti
che patir debbo dai miei parenti?
Nulla a blandirli vale: implacabile
contro mia madre, come di crudo
lupo, furore, nel seno io chiudo.

Womit versuch' ich's?
Ja, wir erzählen ihm

die uns die Mutter that.

Rasenden Wolfs unerbittlicher Grimm

Skills it to tell of aught save wrong on wrong,
Wrought by our mother's deed?
Though now she fawn for pardon, sternly strong
490
Standeth our wrath, and will nor hear nor heed:
Her children's soul is wolfish, born from hers,
And softens not by prayers.

Welch Wort wohl trifft es? Nenn' ich alles Leid,
420
Das wir erduldet von ihr, die mir das Leben gab?
Doch nimmermehr stirbt der Wurm, wühlt ewig fort.
Denn gleich des Wolf's grimmer Wuth,
Grollt dieses Herz unversöhnt der Mutter.
Siebente Strophe.
