CANTATA DELLO STRESSO, by PIETRO METASTASIOPoet's Biography
First Line: Whilst zephyr sooths the angry waves Last Line: Pursues his destined course. Alternate Author Name(s): Trapassi, Pietro Antonio Domenico
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 destined course.
