Original text and translations

English text

Yea, cast me from heights of the mountains to deeps of the ocean,
Let the thunderbolt strike me, o'erwhelm me with fire or with snow!
Since him whom Love's burden hath crushed, and whom Eros hath broken,
Not even the swift-wingèd lightnings of Zeus can o'erthrow!
