Ouseley MS 140 - 72
No one has solved the tangled secrets of eternity,
no one has set foot beyond the orbit,
since, so far as I can see, from tyro to teacher,
impotent are the hands of all men born of woman.
Heron-Allen 1899 - 27c
No one has solved the tangled secrets of eternity,
No one has set foot beyond the orbit (of human understanding),
Since, so far as I can see, from tyro to teacher.
Impotent are the hands of all men born of women.
Heron-Allen 1899 - 28c
No one has solved the tangled secrets of eternity,
No one has set foot beyond the orbit (of human understanding),
Since, so far as I can see, from tyro to teacher.
Impotent are the hands of all men born of women.
Nicolas 1867 - 175
Personne n'a pénétré les secrets du Principe; personne n'a fait un pas en dehors de soi-même. J'observe, et je ne vois qu'insuffisance depuis l'élève jusqu'au maître, insuffisance dans tout ce que mère a enfanté.
Payne 1898 - 356
The crux of the secrets of heaven solved hath none yet;
Nor eke withoutside of his nature foot hath one set:
When I look, from beginner to master, I see, with regret,
In all bom of woman's but weakness and hindrance and let.
Thompson 1906 - 238
None the eternal secrets e'er can trace.
Nor one step, foot beyond his nature place;
From pupil to the master I behold
Those born of woman, weak in every case.
Whinfield 1883 - 190
What sage the eternal tangle e'er unraveled,
Or one short step beyond his nature traveled?
From pupils to the masters turn your eyes,
And see, each mother's son alike is graveled.
