Zeus All-accomplisher, grant that never
May the tale of the fortunes of burgher and king
Be worser than now; may they prosper ever
Where Amenas’ waters are murmuring!
By thy grace may the old chief’s counsels bring
To his son and his folk, with all honour, fruition
In their borders ever of concord and peace.
May the war-cry of Tuscan no more nor Phoenician
Be heard on our shores since battle’s decision
By Cumae brought woe for lost ships upon these
Who in insolence claimed to be lords of the seas;
