Chorus.
See'st thou this, shining Achilles?
Come now, what will you say to that? Just be sure
that your temper doesn't get hold of you
and carry you out of bounds.
For he has made terrible accusations.
But come, O noble one,
Do not contradict him in anger,
but reef in your sails,
use only the tips,
then little by little you'll bring her to
and watch out for when
you may catch a calmed and gentle breeze.
