Recitativo: Simon Von dürrem Oste dringt ein scharfer Eishauch jetzt hervor. Schneidend fährt er durch die Luft, verzehret jeden Dunst und hascht des Tieres Odem selbst. Des grimmigen Tyranns, des Winters Sieg ist nun vollbracht, und stummer Schrecken drückt den ganzen Umfang der Natur.

Récitatif : Simon De l'est desséché se fraie un chemin Maintenant un souffle glacé plus piquant. Il avance en cinglant à travers l'air, Il dévore toute vapeur, Et attrape même le souffle des animaux. Du tyran furieux, De l'hiver, la victoire est maintenant complète, Et une terreur muette recouvre La nature dans toute son étendue.
