Em resposta, diz Éolo: “A ti, rainha, / cabe o trabalho de buscar o que desejas; / a mim cumpre somente executar / os teus mandados. Deste-me este reino / (se assim posso chamá-lo) e me garantes / este cetro e o favor de Júpiter supremo; / dás-me o direito de participar / dos banquetes dos deuses e me fazes / senhor das nuvens e das tempestades.”

- Aeolus spoke thus in reply: "It is yours, O queen, to express what you wish; my task is to obey your commands. You grant me control over this kingdom, such as it is, the scepters and Jupiter; you allow me to recline at the feasts of the gods, and to hold the power of the clouds and the storms."
- "Speak, Queen," he answered, "to obey is mine. / To thee I owe this sceptre and whate'er / of realm is here; thou makest Jove benign, / thou giv'st to rule the storms and sit at feasts divine."
