Suddenly down from the mountains' rocky crags
Poseidon stormed with giant, lightning strides and
the looming peaks and tall timber quaked
Beneath his immortal feet as the sea lord surged on.
αἶψα δ᾽ ἀπ᾽ οὐρεσίφων σκοπέλων κατέβη Ποσειδάων, βῆ δὲ μέγ᾽ ἀΐσσων· τρέμε δ᾽ οὔρεα μακρὰ καὶ ὕλη ἀθανάτοισιν ὑπὸ ποσὶ κυανοχαίτης ἄνακτος, ἐσσυμένου πόντοιο κατὰ κλύδωνα θαλάσσης
Three great strides he took, on the fourth he reached his goal,
Aegae port where his famous halls are built in the green depths,
the shimmering golden halls of the god that stand forever.
τρὶς μὲν ἄρ᾽ ἐν μεγάλῃσι βάδην ἔχε, τῷ δὲ τετάρτῳ ἵκετ᾽ Αἰγαίην, ὅθι οἱ κλυτὰ δώματα κεῖται ἐν βένθεσσι χλοεροῖσι, χρυσέα μαρμαίροντα, ἄφθιτα, τὰ ζώουσι θεοὶ μακάρων αἰεί
Down Poseidon dove and yoked his bronze-hoofed horses
onto his battle-car, his pair that raced the wind
with their golden manes streaming on behind them,
ἔνθ᾽ ὅ γε βυσσόθεν εἰσάλμενος κυανοχαίτης ἵππους χαλκόποδας ζεύξ᾽ ἅρμασιν ὠκυπόδεσσι, ὠκέας ἠΰτε πνοιὴν ἐπιπταμένας ἀνέμοιο, χρυσείαι δὲ κόμαι μετόπισθεν ἐπέρρεον αὐτῶν
and strapping the golden armor round his body,
seized his whip that coils lithe and gold
and boarded his chariot launching up and out,
χρύσεα δ᾽ ἀμφ᾽ ὤμοισιν ἔδυ τεύχεα καλὰ, εἵλετο δὲ χρυσείην μάστιγα καμπυλόμητιν, βῆ δ᾽ ἐπὶ δίφρον ἑών, τὸν δ᾽ οἴδματα πορφυρὰ φέρβεν
skimming the waves, and over the swells they came,
dolphins leaving their lairs to sport across his wake,
leaping left and right - well they knew their lord.
οἱ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἐπ᾽ οἴδμασι βῆσαν, ἐπὶ κλύδωνας ἰόντες, δελφῖνες δ᾽ ἐκ βένθεσφι λιπόντες κευθμῶνας ἕποντο, σκίρτων ἔνθα καὶ ἔνθα· ἄνακτα γὰρ ἔγνων ἑόντα
And the sea heaved in joy, cleaving a path for him
and the team flew on in a blurring burst of speed,
the bronze axle under the war-car never flecked with foam,
the stallions vaulting, speeding Poseidon toward Achaea's fleet.
γήθεε δὲ πόντος, διὰ δ᾽ ἴθυνε κέλευθον ἅλιπλον, οἱ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἀελλόποδες πεδίον κάτα κύματ᾽ ἔτεμνον· οὐδέ ποτ᾽ ἀξονίη χαλκή περὶ δίφρον ἐδεύετο ἀφρῷ, ἀλλ᾽ ἵπποι θείοντα Ποσειδάωνα φέροντο νηυσὶν ἐπ᾽ Ἀχαιῶν

Quello pensier che in ricercar t'afanni de dare in preda el cor per più tua pace | "That thought which worries you in its searching"
[Fe]llo pensier, che in ricercar t’afanni [d]e dare in preda el cor per più tua pace, [n]on vedi tu gli efetti aspri e tenace [de] cului che n’usurpa i più belli anni?
[Dur]e fatiche, e voi, famosi afanni, [r]isvegliate el pensier che in ozio giace, most[r]ateli quel sole alto che face [s]alir da’ bassi ai più sublimi scanni.
