Book TI.II:1-74 The Journey: Storm at Sea

Gods of the sea and sky – since what is left but prayer? –

don’t shatter the ribs of our storm-tossed ship,

don’t, I beg you, add to great Caesar’s anger!

Often when one god presses, another brings help.

Mulciber was against Troy, Apollo for her:

Venus was friendly to Trojans, Pallas hostile.

Saturnia hated Aeneas, supported Turnus:

yet he was safe through Venus’s power.

Fierce Neptune often challenged the cunning Ulysses:

Minerva often saved him from her uncle.

And however different I am from them,

who denies a power to me, against the angry god?

A wretch, I’m wasting idle words in vain.

My mouth that speaks is drenched by heavy waves,

and fearful Notus hurls my words away,

and won’t let my prayers reach the gods.

So the same winds drive my sails and prayers

who knows where, so I’m doubly punished.

Ah me! What mountains of water churn!

Now, now you think they’ll touch the highest stars.

What abysses sink beneath the yawning flood!

Now, now you think they’ll touch black Tartarus.

Wherever I look there’s nothing but sea or air,

here swollen waves, there threatening cloud,

between, the roar and humming of the winds.

The ocean waves don’t know what lord to obey.

Now Eurus storms in power from the purple east,

now Zephyrus rushes in from late evening,

Now frozen Boreas raves from dry polar stars,

now Notus wars with his opposing brow.

The helmsman’s unsure of what to shun or where

to steer for: his art is baffled by uncertain evils.

Surely we’re done for, there’s no hope of safety,

while I speak the waves drench my face.

The breakers will crush this life of mine, with lips

praying in vain, I’ll swallow the fatal waters.

But my loyal wife grieves only for my exile:

it’s the only ill of mine she knows, and groans at.

She doesn’t see me hurled through the vast seas,

pursued by the winds, she doesn’t see death nearing.

It’s good that I didn’t allow her to ship with me,

or I, poor wretch, would endure a double death!

Now, though I die, since she is free from danger,

at least the other half of me will survive.

Ah! What a swift flame flashes from the cloud!

What a mighty crash resounds from the ether!

The blow on her planks from the waves is no less

than a siege-gun’s heavy thud against the walls.

Here comes a wave that overtops them all:

after the ninth and before the eleventh.

I don’t fear dying: but this way of dying’s wretched.

Save me from drowning, and death will be a blessing.

A natural death or dying under the blade, at least

your body rests on the solid ground, as you ebb,

and there are requests to others, and hope of a tomb,

not to be food for the fishes in the ocean.

Assume I deserve such a death, I’m not the only

traveller here. Why does my sentence drown the innocent?

English translation of Tristia by A. S. Kline follows
( https://www.poetryintranslation.com/PITBR/Latin/OvidTristiaBkOne.php )

Gods above, and you of the green flood, who rule the seas,

both crowds of you, desist from your threats:

an unhappy man, let me carry the life that’s granted

by Caesar’s relenting anger, to the chosen place.

If you wish to punish me with the sentence I merit,

my fault, even to my judge, does not deserve death.

If Caesar had wished to send me to Stygian waters,

he wouldn’t have needed your help in this.

He has a power, not to be grudged, over my life:

he’ll take away what he’s given, when he wishes.

You, I pray, whom surely no offence of mine

has wounded, be content now with my troubles.

Yet, if you’re all willing to save this wretch,

the life that’s ruined can’t now be saved.

Though the seas quieten, and kind winds blow,

though you spare me, I’ll be no less an exile.

Book TI.II:75-110 The Journey: The Destination

I don’t plough the open sea to trade my goods

greedy to acquire wealth without end,

nor to reach Athens, I one sought as a student,

nor the Asian cities, nor places I’ve seen,

nor do I sail to Alexander’s famous city,

to see your pleasures, happy Nile.

I ask for favourable winds – who would credit it? –

to set my sails for the Sarmatian land.

I’m forced to touch the wild left shore of Pontus:

I complain my flight from my native land’s too slow.

I pray for the journey to be shorter,

to see the people of Tomis in their unknown world.

If you love me, hold back these breakers,

and let your powers favour the ship:

or if you hate me deeply, drive me to the land assigned,

part of my punishment is in the place.

Drive my body on swiftly, winds – why linger here? –

Why do my sails desire Italy’s shores?

Caesar does not want this. Why hold one he expels?

Let the land of Pontus see my face.

He orders it, I deserve it: nor do I think it pious

or lawful to defend a guilt he condemns.

Yet if mortal actions never deceive the gods,

you know that crime was absent from my fault.

Ah, if you know it, if my error has misled me,

if my thought was foolish, but not wicked,

if as the humblest may I’ve favoured that House,

if Augustus’s statutory law was enough for me,

if I’ve sung of the happy age with him as Leader,

and offered incense for Caesar and the Caesars –

if such was my intent, spare me, gods!

If not, may a towering wave drown my life!

Am I wrong, or do heavy clouds begin to vanish.

is the wave of the changing sea defeated, humbled?

No accident, but you, called as witness,

whom we cannot deceive, bring me this aid.

1. You can persuade me into almost anything now, for I was recently persuaded to travel by water. We cast off when the sea was lazily smooth; the sky, to be sure, was heavy with nasty clouds, such as usually break into rain or squalls. Still, I thought that the few miles between Puteoli and your dear Parthenope[1] might be run off in quick time, despite the uncertain and lowering sky. So, in order to get away more quickly, I made straight out to sea for Nesis,[2] with the purpose of cutting across all the inlets. 2. But when we were so far out that it made little difference to me whether I returned or kept on, the calm weather, which had enticed me, came to naught. The storm had not yet begun, but the ground-swell was on, and the waves kept steadily coming faster. I began to ask the pilot to put me ashore somewhere; he replied that the coast was rough and a bad place to land, and that in a storm he feared a lee shore more than anything else. 3. But I was suffering too grievously to think of the danger, since a sluggish seasickness which brought no relief was racking me, the sort that upsets the liver without clearing it. Therefore I laid down the law to my pilot, forcing him to make for the shore, willy-nilly. When we drew near, I did not wait for things to be done in accordance with Vergil's orders, until

That boat that you see guests
says that it was the fastest of ships
it was able to surpass the speed of any other boat
or if there was a need 
for an oar or sail to fly
And the boat denies that the shore of the threatning
Adriatic denies this, or the cyclades islands
the famous island of Rhodus, wild Thracian
rough sea of Marmara, Pontus bay
where it later a small boat was previously
the woods having much foliage; for in the Cytorian ridge
with its whistiling leaves often produce whistling
Pontiac Amastris and box bearing Cytorus
the boat said that these things have been 
well known to you from its earliest days
he said that he stood on top
you have dipped oars into your sea
and then, to have carried his master
through so many raging seas, whether a breeze was
calling from the left or from the right
or if at the same time a favorable breeze fell upon each foot
and he says neither any prayers to the Gods of the shore
was done by him, when the boat was coming
from the newest sea all the way to the clear lake
But these events came earlier; now you are old
in a hidden rest and dedicates itself to you
the twin Castor and twin of Castor.

Sirmio, jewel of islands and of peninsulas, 
Whatever each Neptune carries 
In the stagnant clear waters and in the vast sea, 
How gladly and how happy I see you, 
Scarcely myself believing myself that I have left behind 
Thynia and the Bithynian fields and that I see you in safety.
O what is more blessed than cares freed, 
When the mind puts down its burden, 
And we tired from foreign labor come 
To our hearth and rest in a longed for bed? 
This is that which is the one thing for such great labors. 
Greetings, O beautiful Sirmio, and rejoice in your master rejoicing; 
And you, O Lydian waves of the lake, 
Laugh whatever there is of laughter at home.

Catullus XXXI "Paene insularum, Sirmio, insularumque"

English translation:
( http://www.stoa.org/diotima/anthology/cat64.shtml )

     Pines, progeny of Mount Pelion's summit,
once swam, it's said, through Neptune's clear waves
to the breakers of Phasis, to King Aeëtes' borders,
when the chosen Argonauts, oaks of Argive youth,

yearning to carry from Colchis the Golden Fleece,
dared run salt swells in a swift ship,
churned azure billows with firm oar blades.
Athena, divine, who sustains their high citadels,
herself made that chariot fly with light breeze,

weaving pine fabric to curved keel.
     This ship's voyage left first mark on naive Amphitritê.
No sooner did it split the windy tide with its prow,
whiten with froth the waves roiled by its oarage,
than faces emerged from the ocean's white eddy--

Nereids, the sea-nymphs, wondering at the marvel.
On that dawn, if ever, mortal eyes saw them:
the ocean goddesses, bare-bodied,
rising breast-high from the gray-white eddy.
Then was Peleus, they say, inflamed with love for Thetis,

then did Thetis not scorn to wed a human,
then did Father Jupiter know: Peleus to Thetis must be joined.
     O heroes, born in a greatly yearned-for time of the world!
O hail, you offspring of gods, fine progeny of fine mothers,
and hail again! Yes, it's you I'll often summon in my song,

Catullus LXIV "Peliaco quondam prognatae vertice pinus"

EPISTLE 289. Farrago, p. 236 ; Ep. viii. 47 ; C. 136 (159). 
Erasmus to Ammonius. 

I called more than once at your house for the purpose 
of bidding a final farewell to the sweetest of all my friends, 
and of enjoying to the last possible moment an association 
which has been one of the greatest pleasures I have had in 
my life. 

We had a fair passage, though it was an anxious one for 
me. The sea was calm, the wind favourable, the weather 
fine, the hour most convenient, for we set sail about seven 
o'clock. But those sea-robbers had carried off a mail filled 
with my writings to some other ship. This is a thing they 
do on purpose, in order to steal something, if occasion 
serves, or, if not, to extort some money by selling you what 
is your own. Accordingly, believing the labours of so 
many years to be gone for ever, I felt for the time as much 
grief as any parent for the death of his offspring. In all other 
matters these fellows treat foreigners just in the same way, 
so that it would be better to fall into the hands of any 
Turks than into theirs. I often wonder that such scoundrels 
are tolerated by the English Government to the great 
annoyance of those who visit the country, and the greatest 
discredit of the whole island, as every traveller carries home 
the story of the inhuman reception he has met with, and 
other people form an estimate of the nation by the acts of 
these robbers. 

I do not know whether I have told you, that I paid my 
respects in person to the King's Majesty, who received me 
with quite a friendly air. Then the bishop of Lincoln bade 
me be of the best and surest hope. He said nothing about 
any present, nor did I venture to hint at it for fear of 
seeming importunate. The bishop of Durham, as I took 
leave, gave me six angels, and that of his own accord, and 
if I am not mistaken, for the fourth time. The archbishop 
took some pains to find an opportunity of adding a like 
amount ; and the bishop of Rochester gave me a royal. 
This is the sum total of what I carry away ; and I wished 
you to know it, that it may not be thought I have collected 
a great amount of money under the pretext of leave-taking. 

I am now at the castle of Hammes, where I am to spend 
a very few days with my lord Mount] oy ; and shall then go 
on to Germany, visiting some friends on the way. If Fortune 
answers to my wishes and to the promises of others, we 
shall soon return to England. If not, we shall be advised 
by circumstances. God grant that I may return in safety, 
and find my Ammonius not only safe, but enriched with 
the choicests gifts of Fortune. If any opportunity should 
arise for promoting the interests of your Erasmus, I have 
no doubt that you will be the same good friend in his 
absence as you have always hitherto been to him, whether 
absent or present. Farewell, my best of friends.

Latin Lyrics Below!  

Special thanks to Olivia Thompson, whose outstanding original translation I adapted to fit the long and short syllables and song's rhythm / Gratiae sunt agendae Oliviae Thompson, cuius pulcherrimam versionem mutavi ut syllabarum longitudines congruerentur cum notis musicis // Here is her splendid video / Ecce versio perbella Oliviae : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pcpa2_nRW4

This translation and performance preserves most of the original music's rhythm with corresponding correct Latin rhythm (long and short syllables), and even the rhymes!  This is seldom done, but is important because the natural rhythm of Latin is the core of the language (the rhymes, however, are just for fun!).  Ut vos hoc opusculum juvet!

Verba Carminis / Latin Lyrics

Ariella, aurēs praebē.
Mundus hūmānus est plēnus mōnstrīs.
Condiciōne sub marī meliōrī ūtimur
quam in omnibus locīs hominum.

Sciō algās ibī flōrēntīs
lacū īnsint ubīnam
ascendere illūc tū māvīs
tamen per gravem mendam!
Modo īnspice in quālī mundō
tū vīvere jam possīs!
Hīc mīrō carēbis nūllō
quid terra fert tum nōbīs?

hīc sub marī
hīc sub marī
est longē melius
cuique est jūcundius — ō modo audī!
hūmāna poenās dās dīrās
sub sōle ut serva dein labōrās
nōs dum natāmus
sēcūrī cantāmus! hīc sub marī

Marī quisque gaudet piscis
dum volvitur subque undā.
Terrā timēns īdem piscis
ferendus est in mēnsā:
Fortūnam habet nōn hic piscis
pēius quidem cōnsequētur
ubi ēsurit dominus, piscis
cum jūre cōnsūmētur.

Ah-oh!

Hīc sub marī
Hīc sub marī
vulnera nūlla
nec cēna fricta nōbīs ibī!
Quem terrestribus libet
coquendum hīc nāre eī licet:
cūrīs solūtīs jocāmur in bullīs!

Hīc sub marī
Hīc sub marī
vītā perfectā, mūsā dīlectā
nātūrālī
tum acipēnser cum raiā
jam tībiīs concentā!
nōbīs est lepor quō nūsquam melior
hīc sub marī

Canit rhombus ille tum cymbalō
lacertae sonant, cyprīnī lyrā
faber būcinā, atque chalchis tubā
platessa lacessat jam!
et aulō canitque salmō injicit
et oegopsidae placent cochleae
heus, cantitō, tuō barbitō!
et ō diodōn tam flat!

Jam!

Ō sub marī!
hīc sub marī!
tum cum trichiā movet chorēa
mūsa est mihī!
habent quid illī? harēnam!
cantant crustāceī palam
hūc antrīs līmāx lābitur ātrīs
hīc sub marī!
illūc nārīta cantat mūgīta
hīc sub marī!
conchae nunc omnīs
īnsaltant undīs
perbellē vīvisque īmīs in fundīs
nōbīs fortūna semper secunda
hīc sub marī!

Verba Carminis / Latin Lyrics (be sure to blend vowels at word boundaries when singing! )

Cāra, vīn exstinguāmus tēlevīsōrium
mīlle et vīgintī vultūs sed nihil spectandum
Nisi mē fallit
animus, nunc mihi vidētur
terra īnsānīre!
ŏ cāra, quīn saltāmus!

Hoc enim minus synoecium nōn idōneum scīmus
at torōque ēmōtō
remissāque lūmine
nempe erit sat tunc melius
pedibus scaevīs mihi,
cordibusque ibi
nostrīs licet jam īnsānīre
ŏ cāra, quīn saltāmus

nunc per andrōnem, sūrsum
aurīs volantēs, contrā mūrum
cāra, quīn saltāmus

Cāra, vīn induās tē vest' istā bellā
et tālāribus calceīs
dētrahendīs
īlicō audītā mūsicā;
sed immō magis
sīc jam tū facis
mē, tē vīsā, īnsānīre
ŏ cāra, quīn saltāmus

nunc per andrōnem, sūrsum
aurīs volantēs, contrā mūrum
cāra, quīn saltāmus

mē quidem movēbō!

Nisi mē fallit
animus, nunc mihi vidētur
terra īnsānīre!
ŏ cāra, quīn saltāmus!

(aurīs volantēs, contrā mūrum)
cāra (cāra), quīn saltāmus
