Finche un zeffiro soave
Tien del mar l'ira placata,
Ogni nave
E fortunata,
E felice ogni nocchier;

E ben prova di coraggio
Incontrar l'onde funeste,
Navigar fra le tempeste,
E non perdere il sentier.

TRANSLATION.

Whilst zephyr sooths the angry waves
Of Ocean into rest,
Each vessel is in safety borne,
And every pilot blest.

But he indeed demands our praise,
Who stems the tempest's force,
And midst the ire of hostile waves,
Pursues his destin'd course.

[The end]
Matilda Betham's poem: Cantata Dello Stesso
