Examples of using "Suppliant" in a sentence and their french translations:

Meanwhile, with beaten breasts and streaming hair, / the Trojan dames, a sad and suppliant train, / the veil to partial Pallas' temple bear. / Stern, with averted eyes the Goddess spurns their prayer.

Là, les femmes de Troie, avançant lentement, / à Pallas apportaient un riche vêtement, / se meurtrissant le sein, humblement gémissantes ; / l'habit sacré brillait dans leurs mains suppliantes : / Pallas baissait les yeux, et repoussait leur don.

But gladly sire Anchises hails the sign, / and gazing upward through the starlit air, / his hands and voice together lifts in prayer: / "O Jove omnipotent, dread power benign, / if aught our piety deserve, if e'er / a suppliant move thee, hearken and incline / this once, and aid us now and ratify thy sign."

Lorsque levant ses yeux par l'espoir animés, / tendant au ciel ses mains : " Jupiter ! dit mon père, / si les pleurs quelquefois désarment ta colère, / lis dans nos cœurs, hélas ! et, s'ils sont vertueux, / confirme, par pitié, ces présages heureux ! "

- "This more, besides, I charge thee to obey, / if any faith to Helenus be due, / or skill in prophecy the seer display, / and mighty Phoebus hath inspired me true, / these warning words I urge, and oft will urge anew: / Seek Juno first; great Juno's power adore; / with suppliant gifts the potent queen constrain, / and winds shall waft thee to Italia's shore."
- Moreover, if Helenus has any foresight, if the seer may claim any faith, if Apollo fills his soul with truths, this one thing, Goddess-born, this one in lieu of all I will foretell, and again and again repeat the warning: mighty Juno’s power honour first with prayer; to Juno joyfully chant vows, and win over the mighty mistress with suppliant gifts. So at last you will leave Trinacria behind and be sped triumphantly to the bounds of Italy.

" Enfin, dans l'avenir s'il m'est permis de lire, / Hélénus ne peut trop le dire et le redire : / Junon fit tous tes maux et les prolonge tous : / de la reine des dieux désarme le courroux ; / n'épargne point l'encens, les vœux, ni la prière : / ainsi tu fléchiras cette déesse altière ; / et tes heureux vaisseaux des bords siciliens / parviendront sans obstacle aux ports ausoniens. "

- "But I, who walk in majesty as queen of the gods, both sister and wife of Jupiter, I am still waging wars with one tribe for all these years! And who will worship the divine spirit of Juno after this, or what suppliant will bring an offering to her altars?"
- "But I, who walk the Queen of Heaven confessed, / Jove's sister-spouse, shall I forevermore / with one poor tribe keep warring without rest? / Who then henceforth shall Juno's power adore? / Who then her fanes frequent, her deity implore?"

" Et moi, qui marche égale au souverain des cieux, / moi, l'épouse, la sœur du plus puissant des dieux, / armant contre un seul peuple et le ciel et la terre, / vainement je me lasse à lui livrer la guerre ! / Suis-je encore Junon ? et qui d'un vain encens / fera fumer encor mes autels impuissants ? "

- Juno then, as a suppliant, addressed him in these words: "Aeolus (for the father of the gods has granted you authority to calm the seas and to stir them up with the winds), a race hateful to me is sailing upon the Tyrrhenian sea, carrying Troy along with its conquered gods to Italy."
- Him now Saturnia sought, and thus in lowly strain: / "O AEolus, for Jove, of human kind / and Gods the sovran Sire, hath given to thee / to lull the waves and lift them with the wind, / a hateful people, enemies to me, / their ships are steering o'er the Tuscan sea, / bearing their Troy and vanquished gods away / to Italy."

Devant lui la déesse abaissant sa hauteur : / " Roi des vents, lui dit-elle avec un air flatteur, / vous à qui mon époux, le souverain du monde, / permit et d'apaiser et de soulever l'onde, / un peuple que je hais, et qui, malgré Junon, / ose aux champs des Latins transporter Ilion, / avec ses dieux vaincus fend les mers d'Étrurie.
