Translation of "Tempests" in French

- Here in a vast cavern king Aeolus rules over the struggling winds and howling tempests, and restrains them in prison with fetters.
- Here AEolus within a dungeon vast / the sounding tempest and the struggling blast / bends to his sway and bridles them with chains.

Là, sous de vastes monts, / le dieu tient enchaînés dans leurs gouffres profonds / les vents tumultueux, les tempêtes bruyantes.

- They press down upon the sea and stir it up from the lowest depths, East and South and Southwest winds as one, thick with tempests, they roll the vast waves to the shores. There follows the shouting of men and the shrieking of ropes.
- East, West and squally South-west, with a roar, / swoop down on Ocean, and the surf and sand / mix in dark eddies, and the watery floor / heave from its depths, and roll huge billows to the shore. / Then come the creak of cables and the cries / of seamen.

Le rapide Zéphire, et les fiers aquilons, / et les vents de l'Afrique, en naufrages féconds, / tous bouleversent l'onde, et des mers turbulentes / roulent les vastes flots sur leurs rives tremblantes. / On entend des nochers les tristes hurlements, / et des cables froissés les affreux sifflements.
