Examples of using "Sceptre" in a sentence and their french translations:

"Presumptuous winds, begone, / and take your king this message, that the sway / of Ocean and the sceptre and the throne / Fate gave to me, not him; the trident is my own."

" Fuyez, et courez dire à votre souverain / que le sort n'a pas mis le trident en sa main, / que moi seul en ces lieux tiens le sceptre des ondes. "

Therewith the royal sceptre, which of yore / Ilione, Priam's eldest daughter, bore; / her shining necklace, strung with costly beads, / and diadem, rimmed with gold and studded o'er / with sparkling gems. Thus charged, Achates heeds, / and towards the ships forthwith in eager haste proceeds.

Il y fait joindre encor le sceptre qu'Ilione / reçut du vieux Priam, et sa riche couronne, / qui réunit à l'or l'éclat du diamant ; / enfin, de son collier le superbe ornement, / ces trésors arrondis, ces perles que l'aurore / de l'onde orientale autrefois vit éclore : / il veut ; et son ami court, docile à sa loi, / remplir les vœux d'un père, et les ordres d'un roi.

- When he had said these things, he struck with reversed spear the side of the hollow mountain, and the winds, as a single column, race through the offered gate and blast the lands with a tornado.
- So spake the God and with her hest complied, / and turned the massive sceptre in his hand / and pushed the hollow mountain on its side. / Out rushed the winds, like soldiers in a band, / in wedged array, and, whirling, scour the land.

Il dit ; et, du revers de son sceptre divin, / du mont frappe les flancs : ils s'ouvrent, et soudain / en tourbillons bruyants l'essaim fougueux s'élance, / trouble l'air, sur les eaux fond avec violence.

- 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."

" Reine, répond Éole, ordonnez, j'obéis : / à la table des dieux par vous je suis assis ; / par vous j'ai la faveur du souverain du monde, / et je commande en maître aux puissances de l'onde. "

- Those indignant winds grumble with a loud murmuring around the confines of the mountain; Aeolus sits in his high citadel, holding his scepter, and he soothes their spirits and tempers their rages: if he did not do this, they would surely snatch away seas and lands and the deep heaven itself, and sweep them off through the windy sky.
- They, in the rock reverberant held fast, / moan at the doors. Here, throned aloft, he reigns; / his sceptre calms their rage, their violence restrains: / else earth and sea and all the firmament / the winds together through the void would sweep.

S'agitant de fureur dans leurs prisons tremblantes, / ils luttent en grondant, ils s'indignent du frein. / Au haut de son rocher, assis le sceptre en main, / Éole leur commande ; il maîtrise, il tempère / du peuple impétueux l'indocile colère : / s'ils n'étaient retenus, soudain cieux, terre, mers, / devant eux rouleraient emportés dans les airs.
