Examples of using "Potentat" in a sentence and their english translations:

Ainsi périt Priam ; ainsi la destinée / marqua par cent malheurs sa mort infortunée, / il périt, en voyant de ses derniers regards / brûler son Ilion et tomber ses remparts. / Ce potentat, jadis si grand, si vénérable, / n'est plus qu'un tronc sanglant, qu'un débris déplorable, / dans la foule des morts tristement confondu, / hélas ! et sans honneur sur le sable étendu.

Such close had Priam's fortunes; so his days / were finished, such the bitter end he found, / now doomed by Fate with dying eyes to gaze / on Troy in flames and ruin all around, / and Pergamus laid level with the ground. / Lo, he to whom once Asia bowed the knee, / proud lord of many peoples, far-renowned, / now left to welter by the rolling sea, / a huge and headless trunk, a nameless corpse is he.
