Translation of "Equilibrando" in English

Equilibrando-se na cauda de um cometa, o astronauta explorou a Via Láctea.

Balancing himself on the tail of a comet, the astronaut explored the Milky Way.

As naus já se erguem, no escarcéu se equilibrando, / já descem pela fenda que entre as vagas / lhes mostra o fundo: a areia revolvida / pelo esto enfurecido, em remoinho.

These, horsed astride / a surge's crest, rock pendent o'er the deep; / to those the wave's huge hollow, yawning wide, / lays bare the ground below; dark swells the sandy tide.
