Immortal Aphrodite of the broidered throne – Sappho Immortal Aphrodite of the broidered throne, / daughter of Zeus, weaver of wiles, / I pray thee break not / my spirit with anguish and distress, / O Queen. / But come hither, / if ever before thou didst hear my voice afar, / and listen, / and leaving thy father’s / golden house camest with chariot yoked, / and fair fleet sparrows drew thee, / flapping fast their wings around the dark earth, / from heaven through mid sky. / Quickly arrived they; and thou, blessed one, / smiling with immortal countenance, / didn’t ask What now is befallen me, / and Why now I call, and What I in my mad heart most desire to see. / ‘What Beauty now wouldst thou draw to love thee? / Who wrongs thee, Sappho? / For even if she flies she shall soon follow, / and if she rejects gifts shall yet give, / and if she loves not shall soon love, however loth.’ / Come, I pray thee, now too, / and release me from cruel cares; / and all that my heart desires to accomplish, / accomplish thou, and be thyself my ally. Sappho Italian Version: Afrodite, trono adorno, immortale – Saffo Afrodite, trono adorno, immortale / figlia di Zeus, che le reti intessi, ti prego: / l’animo non piegarmi, o signora, / con tormenti e affanni. / Vieni qui: come altre volte, / udendo la mia voce di lontano, / mi esaudisti; e lasciata la casa d’oro / del padre venisti, / aggiogato il carro. Belli e veloci / passeri ti conducevano, intorno alla terra nera, / con battito fitto di ali, dal cielo / attraverso l’aere. / E presto giunsero. Tu, beata, / sorridevi nel tuo volto immortale / e mi chiedevi del mio nuovo soffrire: / perché di nuovo ti invocavo: / cosa mai desideravo che avvenisse / al mio animo folle. “Chi di nuovo devo persuadere / a rispondere al tuo amore? Chi è ingiusto / verso te, Saffo? / Se ora fugge, presto ti inseguirà: / se non accetta doni, te ne offrirà: / se non ti ama, subito ti amerà / pur se non vuole.” / Vieni da me anche ora: liberami dagli affanni / angosciosi: colma tutti i desideri / dell’animo mio; / e proprio tusii la mia alleata. Saffo
