Translation of "Sheltering" in French

The animals that have been sheltering during the heat of the day, will often come out at nighttime.

Les animaux qui se cachent pendant la chaleur du jour sortent souvent la nuit.

But lo! the serpents to Tritonia's seat / glide from their victim, till the shrine they gain, / and, coiled beside the goddess, at her feet, / behind her sheltering shield with gathered orbs retreat.

Enfin, dans les replis de ce couple sanglant, / qui déchire son sein, qui dévore son flanc, / il expire... Aussitôt l'un et l'autre reptile / s'éloigne ; et, de Pallas gagnant l'auguste asile, / aux pieds de la déesse, et sous son bouclier, / d'un air tranquille et fier va se réfugier.

His ships he hides within a sheltering cove, / screened by the caverned rock, and shadowed by the grove, / then wielding in his hand two broad-tipt spears, / alone with brave Achates forth he strayed.

À l'abri des rochers, et sous de noirs ombrages, / il laisse ses vaisseaux ; et, deux traits à la main, / suivi du seul Achate, il se fraie un chemin.

- Then fury spurred their courage, and behold, / As ravening wolves, when darkness hides the day, / Stung with mad fire of famine uncontrolled, / Prowl from their dens, and leave the whelps to stay, / With jaws athirst and gaping for the prey. / So to sure death, amid the darkness there, / Where swords, and spears, and foemen bar the way, / Into the centre of the town we fare. / Night with her shadowy cone broods o'er the vaulted air.
- Then, like wolves ravening in a black fog, whom mad malice of hunger hath driven blindly forth, and their cubs left behind await with throats unslaked; through the weapons of the enemy we march to certain death, and hold our way straight into the town. Night's sheltering shadow flutters dark around us.

Ce peu de mots à peine a redoublé leur rage ; / soudain, tels que dans l'ombre, avides de ravage, / court de loups dévorants un affreux bataillon, / qu'irrite de la faim le pressant aiguillon, / et que les fruits affreux de leur amour sauvage / attendent dans la nuit, altérés de carnage ; / au centre de la ville, au plus fort des combats, / nous volons à la gloire, ou plutôt au trépas. / Sur nous la nuit étend ses ailes ténébreuses.
