Anyone care to translate this into English?

I would love to know what it says!

I can help with the first poem- we actually studied Butturini in greek- and I have it at home which is where I am for once- a full day off!

I salute you, nourishing goddess, noble goddess
O our glory, O venetian queen
In the stormy and deadly whirl [wind]
You reigned serene, a thousand limbs
Fearlessly you laid low in the bitter battle
Through you I was not wretched, through you I do not groan
I live in peace through you, Reign O blessed one
Reign in prosperous destiny, in revered pomp
In everlasting splendor, in your golden seat serene, calm, and dutiful
Kindly save me, love me, protect me

Don't know about the rest and not sure about all the tenses (sp?)...good luck! :)
