    Far off and high above thee�察�Zeus will hear��

    And then thy present multitude of ills

    Will seem the mild correction of a babe。

    Rather�察�O thou much chastened one�察�refrain

    Thine anger�察�and from suffering seek release。

    Stale�察�peradventure�察�seem these words of mine��

    Nevertheless�察�of a too haughty tongue

    Such punishment�察�Prometheus�察�is the wage。

    But thou�察�not yet brought low by suffering��

    To what thou hast of ill would'st add far worse。

    Therefore�察�while thou hast me for schoolmaster��

    Thou shalt not kick against the pricks�察�the more

    That an arch´despot who no audit dreads

    Rules by his own rough will。 And now I leave thee��

    To strive with what success I may command

    For thy deliv'rance。 Keep a quiet mind

    And use not over´vehemence of speech´

    Knowest thou not�察�being exceeding wise��

    A wanton�察�idle tongue brings chastisement��

  PROMETHEUS

    I marvel that thou art not in my case��

    Seeing with me thou did'st adventure all。

    And now�察�I do entreat thee�察�spare thyself。

    Thou wilt not move him�此�he's not easy moved

    Take heed lest thou find trouble by the way。

  OCEANUS

    Thou are a better counsellor to others

    Than to thyself�此�I judge by deeds not words。

    Pluck me not back when I would fain set forth。

    My oath upon it�察�Zeus will grant my prayer

    And free thee from these pangs。

  PROMETHEUS

    I tender the

    For this my thanks and ever´during praise。

    Certes�察�no backward friend art thou�察�and yet

    Trouble not thyself�察�for at the best thy labour

    Will nothing serve me�察�if thou mean'st to serve。

    Being thyself untrammelled stand fast。

    For�察�not to mitigate my own mischance��

    Would I see others hap on evil days。

    The thought be far from me。 I feel the weight

    Of Atlas' woes�察�my brother in the west

    Shouldering the pillar that props heaven and earth��

    No wieldy fardel for his arms to fold。

    The giant dweller in Cilician dens

    I saw and pitied´a terrific shape��

    A hundred´headed monster´when he fell��

    Resistless Typhon who withstood the Gods��

    With fearsome hiss of beak´mouth horrible��

    While lightning from his eyes with Gorgon´glare

    Flashed for the ravage of the realm of Zeus。

    But on him came the bolt that never sleeps��

    Down´crashing thunder�察�with emitted fire��

    Which shattered him and all his towering hopes

    Dashed into ruin�察�smitten through the breast��

    His strength as smoking cinder�察�lightning´charred。

    And now a heap�察�a helpless�察�sprawling hulk��

    He lies stretched out beside the narrow seas��

    Pounded and crushed deep under Etna's roots。

    But on the mountain´top Hephaestus sits

    Forging the molten iron�察�whence shall burst

    Rivers of fire�察�with red and ravening jaws

    To waste fair´fruited�察�smooth�察�Sicilian fields。

    Such bilious up´boiling of his ire

    Shall Typho vent�察�with slingstone´showers red´hot��

    And unapproachable surge of fiery spray��

    Although combusted by the bolt of Zeus。

    But thou art not unlearned�察�nor needest me

    To be thy teacher�此�save thyself the way

    Thou knowest and I will fortify my heart

    Until the wrathfulness of Zeus abate。

  OCEANUS

    Nay then�察�Prometheus�察�art thou ignorant

    Words are physicians to a wrath´sick soul��

  PROMETHEUS

    Yes�察�if with skill one soften the ripe core��

    Not by rough measures make it obdurate。

  OCEANUS

    Seest thou in warm affection detriment

    Or aught untoward in adventuring��

  PROMETHEUS

    A load of toil and a light mind withal。

  OCEANUS

    Then give me leave to call that sickness mine。

    Wise men accounted fools attain their ends。

  PROMETHEUS

    But how if I am galled by thine offence��

  OCEANUS

    There very palpably thou thrustest home。

  PROMETHEUS

    Beware lest thou through pity come to broils。

  OCEANUS

    With one established in Omnipotence��

  PROMETHEUS

    Of him take heed lest thou find heaviness。

  OCEANUS

    I am schooled by thy calamity�察�Prometheus��

  PROMETHEUS

    Pack then� �And�察�prithee�察�do not change thy mind��

  OCEANUS

    Thou criest ;On; to one in haste to go。

    For look�察�my dragon with impatient wings

    Flaps at the broad�察�smooth road of level air。

    Fain would he kneel him down in his own stall。



                                                        Exit OCEANUS。



  CHORUS ��after alighting��

    I mourn for thee�察�Prometheus��

    minished and brought low��

    Watering my virgin cheeks with these sad drops�察�that flow

    From sorrow's rainy fount�察�to fill soft´lidded eyes

    With pure libations for thy fortune's obsequies。

    An evil portion that none coveteth hath Zeus

    Prepared for thee�察�by self´made laws established for his use

    Disposing all�察�the elder Gods he purposeth to show

    How strong is that right arm wherewith he smites a foe。

    There hath gone up a cry from earth�察�a groaning for the fall

    Of things of old renown and shapes majestical��

    And for thy passing an exceeding bitter groan��

    For thee and for thy brother Gods whose honour was thine own��

    These things all they who dwell in Asia's holy seat��

    Time's minions�察�mourn and with their groans thy groans repeat。

    Yea�察�and they mourn who dwell beside the Colchian shore��

    The hero maids unwedded that delight in war��

    And Scythia's swarming myriads who their dwelling make

    Around the borders of the world�察�the salt Maeotian lake。

    Mourns Ares' stock�察�that flowers in desert Araby��

    And the strong city mourns�察�the hill´fort planted high��

    Near neighbour to huge Caucasus�察�dread mountaineers

    That love the clash of arms�察�the counter of sharp spears。

    Beforetime of all Gods one have I seen in pain��

    One only Titan bound with adamantine chain��

    Atlas in strength supreme�察�who groaning stoops�察�downbent

    Under the burthen of the earth and heaven's broad firmament。

    Bellows the main of waters�察�surge with foam´seethed surge

    Clashing tumultuous�察�for thee the deep seas chant their dirge��

    And Hell's dark under´world a hollow moaning fills��

    Thee mourn the sacred streams with all their fountain´rills。

  PROMETHEUS

    Think not that I for pride and stubbornness

    Am silent�此�rather is my heart the prey

    Of gnawing thoughts�察�both for the past�察�and now

    Seeing myself by vengeance buffeted。

    For to these younger Gods their precedence

    Who severally determined if not I��

    No more of that�此�I should but weary you

    With things ye know�察�but listen to the tale

    Of human sufferings�察�and how at first

    Senseless as beasts I gave men sense�察�possessed them

    Of mind。 I speak not in contempt of man��

    I do but tell of good gifts I conferred。

    In the beginning�察�seeing they saw amiss��

    And hearing heard not�察�but�察�like phantoms huddled

    In dreams�察�the perplexed story of their days

    Confounded�察�knowing neither timber´work

    Nor brick´built dwellings basking in the light��

    But dug for themselves holes�察�wherein like ants��

    That hardly may contend against a breath��

    They dwelt in burrows of their unsunned caves。

    Neither of winter's cold had they fixed sign��

    Nor of the spring when she comes decked with flowers��

    Nor yet of summer's heat with melting fruits

    Sure token�此�but utterly without knowledge

    Moiled�察�until I the rising of the stars

    Showed them�察�and when they set�察�though much obscure。

    Moreover�察�number�察�the most excellent

    Of all inventions�察�I for them devised��

    And gave them writing that retaineth all��

    The serviceable mother of the Muse。

    I was the first that yoked unmanaged beasts��

    To serve as slaves with collar and with pack��

    And take upon themselves�察�to man's relief��

    The heaviest labour of his hands�此�and

    Tamed to the rein and drove in wheeled cars

    The horse�察�of sumptuous pride the ornament。

    And those sea´wanderers with the wings of cloth��

    The shipman's waggons�察�none but I contrived。

    These manifold inventions for mankind

    I perfected�察�who�察�out upon't�察�have none´

    No�察�not one shift´to rid me of this shame。

  CHORUS

    Thy sufferings have been shameful�察�and thy mind

    Strays at a loss�此�like to a bad physician

    Fallen sick�察�thou'rt out of heart�此�nor cans't prescribe

    For thine own case the draught to make thee sound。

  PROMETHEUS

    But hear the sequel and the more admire

    What arts�察�what aids I cleverly evolved。

    The chiefest that�察�if any man fell sick��

    There was no help for him�察�comestible��

    Lotion or potion�察�but for lack of drugs

    They dwindled quite away�察�until I taught them

    To compound draughts and mixtures sanative��

    Wherewith they now are armed against disease。

    I staked the winding path of divination
