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.

CHOR

Vieles Gewalt'ge lebt, und nichts

ist gewaltiger als der Mensch.
330

Er durchschneidet in Südes Sturm

auch die dunkele Flut des Meers,

hinschwebend zwischen den Wogen

auf ringsumbrauster Bahn.

Er müdet ab der Götter höchste,
335

Erde die ewige nimmer ermattende,

während die Pflüge sich wenden von Jahre zu Jahr, sie

furchend mit den Rossen.

Flüchtig gesinnter Vögel Schwarm

fängt er schlau sie umgarnend ein,
340

und wildschweifende Thier' im Wald,

und die wimmelnde Brut des Meers

mit netzgeflochtenen Schleifen,

der witzbegabte Mann.

Mit List bezwingt er auch das freie
345

Höhen erklimmende Thier, und dem mähnigen

Nacken des Rosses umschirrt er das Joch und dem unauf-

reiblich starken Bergstier.

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.

Flüchtiger Vögel leichte Schaar

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,
350

Wie dem freien Stier der Berghöh'n.

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

And furrows with his rolling plough the soil.

The feather'd tribes that lightly wing the air.

Each savage which the forest knows,

Sportive beneath the azure tide,

Chorus

Wonders are many, and none is more wonderful than man.

This power spans the sea, even when it surges white before the gales of the south-wind, and makes a path under swells that threaten to engulf him. Earth, too, the eldest of the gods, the immortal, the unwearied,
335

he wears away to his own ends, turning the soil with the offspring of horses as the plows weave to and fro year after year.
340

343

Chorus

The light-hearted tribe of birds

and the clans of wild beasts and the sea-brood of the deep he snares in the meshes of his twisted nets, and he leads them captive, very-skilled man. He masters by his arts
345

the beast who dwells in the wilds and roams the hills. He tames the shaggy-maned horse, putting the yoke upon its neck, and tames the tireless mountain bull.
350

354

Chorus

Speech and thought fast as the wind and the moods that give order to a city he has taught himself, and how to flee the arrows of the inhospitable frost under clear skies and the arrows of the storming rain.

He has resource for everything. Lacking resource in nothing he strides towards what must come. From Death alone he shall procure no escape, but from baffling diseases he has devised flights.
360

365

Chorus

Possessing resourceful skill, a subtlety beyond expectation he moves now to evil, now to good. When he honors the laws of the land and the justice of the gods to which he is bound by oath,
365

his city prospers. But banned from his city is he who, thanks to his rashness, couples with disgrace. Never may he share my home,
370

never think my thoughts, who does these things!
375

376

Enter the Guard, on the spectators’ left, leading in Antigone.

Chorus

What marvel sent by the gods is this?—I am bewildered! I know her. How can I deny that this girl is Antigone? O unhappy child

of your unhappy father, of Oedipus! What can this mean? What! Surely they are not bringing you captive for disobeying the King’s laws and being caught in lunacy?
