Kitap 5
They stammered hints how meet it was that all
Should have compassion on the weak. And still,
Though concord not in every wise could then
20
Begotten be, a good, a goodly part
Kept faith inviolate- or else mankind
Long since had been unutterably cut off,
And propagation never could have brought
The species down the ages.

Urged men to utter various sounds of tongue
And need and use did mould the names of things,
About in same wise as the lack-speech years
Compel young children unto gesturings,

Making them point with finger here and there
At what's before them. For each creature feels
By instinct to what use to put his powers.
Ere yet the bull-calf's scarce begotten horns
Project above his brows, with them he 'gins
10
Enraged to butt and savagely to thrust.
But whelps of panthers and the lion's cubs
