Je suis Priam! il faut vivre et partir!<br />

(Sa couronne de flammes s’éteint; il disparaît.)<br />

Ghost of Corebus<br />

Je suis Chorèbe!<br />

Il faut partir et vaincre!<br />

Aeneas<br />

Je dois céder<br />

A vos ordres impitoyables!<br />

J’obéis, j’obéis, spectres inexorables!<br />

Je suis barbare, ingrat; vous l’ordonnez, grands dieux!<br />

Et j’immole Didon, en détournant les yeux!<br />

I am Priam. You must live and depart.<br />

(His crown of flame goes out; he vanishes.)<br />

(Lifting his veil)<br />

I am Corebus!<br />

You must depart and conquer.<br />

(His crown goes out; he vanishes.)<br />

(Recognising them as they unveil)<br />

Hector, ye gods of Hades!<br />

Cassandra!<br />

You must conquer and found.<br />

(Their crowns go out; they vanish.)<br />

I must yield<br />

To your pitiless commands.<br />

I obey, I obey, inexorable spirits!<br />

I am cruel and ungrateful: it is your decree, great gods.<br />

Dido must be sacrificed, without a glance from me.<br />

No 43: Scène et chœur<br />

Aeneas<br />

(Passant devant les tentes)<br />

Debout, Troyens, éveillez-vous, alerte!<br />

Le vent est bon, la mer nous est ouverte!<br />

Éveillez-vous!<br />

Il faut partir avant le lever du soleil!<br />

The Trojans<br />

(Dans les tentes)<br />

Alerte! entendez-vous, amis, la voix d’Énée? …<br />

Donnez partout le signal du réveil!<br />

(Ils sortent des tentes.)<br />

Aeneas<br />

(À un chef)<br />

Va, cours, porte cet ordre à l’oreille étonnée D’Ascagne:<br />

Qu’il se lève et qu’il se rende à bord!<br />

(Going from tent to tent.)<br />

Trojans, arise, awake, hurry!<br />

The wind is fair, the open sea awaits us.<br />

Awake!<br />

We must be off before sunrise.<br />

(Within their tents)<br />

Hurry! Comrades, do you hear Aeneas’ voice?<br />

Sound the reveille all through the camp!<br />

(They come out of their tents.)<br />

(To a chieftain)<br />

Quickly, take this order to the astonished Ascanius:<br />

He must get up and go on board;<br />
