ПЕРВАЯ ЖЕНЩИНА.
Здесь купалась Артемида,
Актеон её увидел.
Бросил взор охотник смелый
на её нагое тело.
О, мой злосчастный Актеон,
ты был в оленя превращён.
Ужасная судьба:
твоя же свора злых собак,
твоя же свора злых собак...
к тебе… со всех сторон.
И вот олень-Актеон – в кольце!
О, плен, смертельный плен.
Вмиг растерзан был олень.
Женщины из свиты Дидоны танцуют, развлекая Энея.
SECOND WOMAN
Oft she visits this lov'd mountain,
Oft she bathes her in this fountain;
Here Actaeon met his fate,
Pursued by his own hounds,
And after mortal wounds
Discover'd, discover'd too late.
[A Dance to entertain Aeneas by Dido's women]

on her naked body .
Oh, my unfortunate Acteon ,
You were transformed into a stag .
A terrible fate :

And deer Acteon - the ring !
Oh, prisoner , prisoner deadly .
Trice has been torn to pieces by a deer .
Women of the dance suite Dido , Aeneas entertaining .
SECOND WOMAN
