Y de la raza ligera de las aves, tendiendo redes, se apodera; y también de las bestias salvajes y de los peces del mar, con cuerdas tejidas en malla, la habilidad del hombre. Domeña con su ingenio a la fiera salvaje que en el monte vive; y al crinado caballo y al indómito toro montaraz, les hace amar el yugo al que sujetan su cerviz.

And wound in woven coils of nets he seizeth for his prey
The aëry tribe of birds and wilding armies of the chase,
345
And sea-born millions of the deep—man is so crafty-wise.
And now with engine of his wit he tameth to his will
The mountain-ranging beast whose lair is in the country wild;
And now his yoke hath passed upon the mane
Of horse with proudly crested neck and tireless mountain bull.

Und wildschwärmendes Volk im Wald,
Auch die wimmelnde Brut der See
Fängt er listig umstellend ein

Der vielbegabte Mensch.
Er zwingt mit schlauer Kunst des Landes
Bergdurchwandelndes Wild, und den mähnigen
Nacken umschirrt er dem Roß mit dem Joche rings,

Wie dem freien Stier der Berghöh'n.

El hombre industrioso caza los pájaros de rápido vuelo, y las fieras de las selvas, y los peces de los mares, con redes sutiles en que los envuelve y aprisiona. Su astucia triunfa de los monstruos salvajes de las montañas, y sujeta al yugo al corcel de larga crin y al toro indómito y montaráz.

Und wilder Thiere Zug,
Und des Pontos salzbelebte Natur
Mit gesponnenen Nezen,

Das auf Bergen übernachtet und schweift.
Und dem rauhmähnigen Rosse wirft er um
Den Naken das Joch, und dem Berge
Bewandelnden unbezähmten Stier.

And the light-hearted race of birds, and the tribes of savage beasts, and the sea-brood of the deep, he snares in the meshes of his woven toils, he leads captive, man excellent in wit. And he masters by his arts the beast whose lair is in the wilds, who roams the hills; 350 he tames the horse of shaggy mane, he puts the yoke upon its neck, he tames the tireless mountain bull, 2

The proud steed to his purpose bends,
And furrows with his rolling plough the soil.
His fine entangling arts ensnare
The feather'd tribes that lightly wing the air.
Each savage which the forest knows,

And all the finny race that glide
Sportive beneath the azure tide,

Commentary

Commentary (R. C. Jebb) (OCR draft) (Commentary (R. C. Jebb))

mvp-comment-181-1 Man's conquests over the animal world are here taken in two groups. First, those of which the primary aim is to kill or to capture. Here the means is netting (

ἀμφιβαλὼν σπείραισι δικτυοκλώστοις
), in its threefold sporting use, as applied to fowling (
ὀρνίθων
), hunting (
θηρῶν
), and fishing (
πόντου φύσιν
). Secondly, those conquests which aim at reducing wild animals to man's service. These are effected by
μηχαναί
(349),— arts of taming and training. And their result is aptly expressed by the word

mvp-comment-181-2

κρατεῖ
: here, man is not merely the slayer or captor; he becomes the master of docile toilers. The horse and the bull are types.

mvp-comment-181-3 Thus, in this ode, the scale of achievement ever ascends: man (1) conquers inanimate nature: (2) makes animals his captives: (3) trains them to be his servants: (4) develops his own social and intellectual life.

332-383. mvp-comment-190-1 Most wonderful of wondrous things is man, Who traverses the surging brine, And wearies mighty earth with yearly furrow. His craft ensnares the finny produce of the seas And taketh captive beast and bird. He compasseth a way to master the monster of the wilds, And brings under his yoke the horse with flowing mane And the never-wearied mountain bull. Selftaught in speech and thought and civil ways, And in providing shelter from the cold and rain, There is no end to his devices. Nothing but death ever finds him unprepared. Even diseases, not to be avoided, are escaped by him. Inventive beyond hope, he moveth now to evil, and again to good. When weaving with his wit the law of justice and piety He is exalted in the city, but outcast when he harbours wickedness for deeds of crime. May I never live with such an one, and may he never share my counsels. 332. Aesch. Cho. 585, πολλὰ μὲν γὰ τρέφει δεινὰ δειμάτων ἄχη,.. ἀλλ᾽ ὑπέρτολμον ἀνδρὸς φρόνημα τίς λέγοι; Troch. Iamb. Troch.

332-383. mvp-comment-190-2 δεινά = ' wonderful,' or mighty, is in transition from the earlier sense of fearful to the later sense of clever. Cp.

343. mvp-comment-197-1 *κουφονόων Light-thoughted. This is Brunck's certain emendation, anticipated by the corrector of R. (Cp. v. rr. on l. 617.) Donaldson well says that as wings express the light-mindedness of light-mindedness is here made an epithet of the winged birds. But the word may further suggest the unsuspicious nature ('Despising the earth where cares abound') which makes them an easy prey. Cp. Plat. Tim. 91 D, τὸ δὲ τῶν ὀρνέων φῦλον . . ἐκ τῶν ἀκάκων ἀνδρῶν, κούφων δέ, κ.τ.λ.
