" "
Giace l'alta Cartago; appena i segni
Dell'alte sue ruine il lido serba.
Muojono le città, muojono i regni; Copre i fasti e le pompe arena ed erba; E l'uomo d'esser mortal par che si sdegni:
O nostra mente cupida e superba!

Lovely Nymphs, ye sister Nymphs of the river Po,
And ye from out the greenwood and where the sea-waves beat,
And ye who live by fountains and on hill-tops high.

This is truly the age of gold,
since only gold wins and gold reigns.

Tempo è da travagliar mentre il sol dura; Ma nella notte ogni animale ha pace.
