CANTATA DELLO STRESSO by PIETRO METASTASIO

First Line: WHILST ZEPHYR SOOTHS THE ANGRY WAVES
Last Line: PURSUES HIS DESTINED COURSE.

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.
