Wherewith they now are armed against disease。
I staked the winding path of divination
And was the first distinguisher of dreams��
The true from false�察�and voices ominous
Of meaning dark interpreted�察�and tokens
Seen when men take the road�察�and augury
By flight of all the greater crook´clawed birds
With nice discrimination I defined��
These by their nature fair and favourable��
Those�察�flattered with fair name。 And of each sort
The habits I described�察�their mutual feuds
And friendships and the assemblages they hold。
And of the plumpness of the inward parts
What colour is acceptable to the Gods��
The well´streaked liver´lobe and gall´bladder。
Also by roasting limbs well wrapped in fat
And the long chine�察�I led men on the road
Of dark and riddling knowledge�察�and I purged
The glancing eye of fire�察�dim before��
And made its meaning plain。 These are my works。
Then�察�things beneath the earth�察�aids hid from man��
Brass�察�iron�察�silver�察�gold�察�who dares to say
He was before me in discovering��
None�察�I wot well�察�unless he loves to babble。
And in a single word to sum the whole´
All manner of arts men from Prometheus learned。
CHORUS
Shoot not beyond the mark in succouring man
While thou thyself art comfortless�此�for
Am of good hope that from these bonds escaped
Thou shalt one day be mightier than Zeus。
PROMETHEUS
Fate�察�that brinks all things to an end�察�not thus
Apportioneth my lot�此�ten thousand pangs
Must bow�察�ten thousand miseries afflict me
Ere from these bonds I freedom find�察�for Art
Is by much weaker than Necessity。
CHORUS
Who is the pilot of Necessity��
PROMETHEUS
The Fates triform�察�and the unforgetting Furies。
CHORUS
So then Zeus is of lesser might than these��
PROMETHEUS
Surely he shall not shun the lot apportioned。
CHORUS
What lot for Zeus save world´without´end reign��
PROMETHEUS
Tax me no further with importunate questions。
CHORUS
O deep the mystery thou shroudest there
PROMETHEUS
Of aught but this freely thou may'st discourse��
But touching this I charge thee speak no word��
Nay�察�veil it utterly�此�for strictly kept
The secret from these bonds shall set me free。
CHORUS
May Zeus who all things swayeth
Ne'er wreak the might none stayeth
On wayward will of mine��
May I stint not nor waver
With offerings of sweet savour
And feasts of slaughtered kine��
The holy to the holy��
With frequent feet and lowly
At altar�察�fane and shrine��
Over the Ocean marches��
The deep that no drought parches��
Draw near to the divine。
My tongue the Gods estrange not��
My firm set purpose change not��
As wax melts in fire´shine。
Sweet is the life that lengthens��
While joyous hope still strengthens��
And glad�察�bright thoughts sustain��
But shuddering I behold thee��
The sorrows that enfold thee
And all thine endless pain。
For Zeus thou hast despised��
Thy fearless heart misprized
All that his vengeance can��
Thy wayward will obeying��
Excess of honour paying��
Prometheus�察�unto man。
And�察�oh�察�beloved�察�for this graceless grace
What thanks�拭�What prowess for thy bold essay
Shall champion thee from men of mortal race��
The petty insects of a passing day��
Saw'st not how puny is the strength they spend��
With few�察�faint steps walking as dreams and blind��
Nor can the utmost of their lore transcend
The harmony of the Eternal Mind。
These things I learned seeing thy glory dimmed��
Prometheus。 Ah�察�not thus on me was shed
The rapture of sweet music�察�when I hymned
The marriage´song round bath and bridal bed
At thine espousals�察�and of thy blood´kin��
A bride thou chosest�察�wooing her to thee
With all good gifts that may a Goddess win��
Thy father's child�察�divine Hesione。
Enter IO�察�crazed and horned。
IO
What land is this�拭�What people here abide��
And who is he��
The prisoner of this windswept mountain´side��
Speak�察�speak to me��
Tell me�察�poor caitiff�察�how did'st thou transgress��
Thus buffeted��
Whither am I�察�half´dead with weariness��
For´wandered��
Ha� �Ha��
Again the prick�察�the stab of gadfly´sting��
O earth�察�earth�察�hide��
The hollow shape´Argus´that evil thing´
The hundred´eyed´
Earth´born´herdsman� �I see him yet�察�he stalks
With stealthy pace
And crafty watch not all my poor wit baulks��
From the deep place
Of earth that hath his bones he breaketh bound��
And from the pale
Of Death�察�the Underworld�察�a hell´sent hound
On the blood´trail��
Fasting and faint he drives me on before��
With spectral hand��
Along the windings of the wasteful shore��
The salt sea´sand��
List� �List� �the pipe� �how drowzily it shrills��
A cricket´cry��
See� �See� �the wax´webbed reeds� �Oh�察�to these ills
Ye Gods on high��
Ye blessed Gods�察�what bourne�拭�O wandering feet
When will ye rest��
O Cronian child�察�wherein by aught unmeet
Have I transgressed
To be yoke´fellow with Calamity��
My mind unstrung��
A crack´brained lack´wit�察�frantic mad am I��
By gad´fly stung��
Thy scourge�察�that tarres me on with buzzing wingl
Plunge me in fire��
Hide me in earth�察�to deep´sea monsters fling��
But my desire´
Kneeling I pray´grudge not to grant�察�O King��
Too long a race
Stripped for the course have I run to and fro��
And still I chase
The vanishing goal�察�the end of all my woe��
Enough have I mourned��
Hear'st thou the lowing of the maid cow´horned��
PROMETHEUS
How should I hear thee not�拭�Thou art the child
Of Inachus�察�dazed with the dizzying fly。
The heart of Zeus thou hast made hot with love
And Hera's curse even as a runner stripped
Pursues thee ever on thine endless round。
IO
How dost thou know my father's name�拭�Impart
To one like thee
A poor�察�distressful creature�察�who thou art。
Sorrow with me��
Sorrowful one� �Tell me�察�whose voice proclaims
Things true and sad��
Naming by all their old�察�unhappy names��
What drove me mad´
Sick� �Sick� �ye Gods�察�with suffering ye have sent��
That clings and clings��
Wasting my lamp of life till it be spent��
Crazed with your stings��
Famished I come with trampling and with leaping��
Torment and shame��
To Hera's cruel wrath�察�her craft unsleeping��
Captive and tame
Of all wights woe´begone and fortune´crossed��
Oh�察�in the storm
Of the world's sorrow is there one so lost��
Speak�察�godlike form��
And be in this dark world my oracle I
Can'st thou not sift
The things to come�拭�Hast thou no art to tell
What subtle shift��
Or sound of charming song shall make me well��
Hide naught of ill
But´if indeed thou knowest´prophesy´
In words that thrill
Clear´toned through air´what such a wretch as
Must yet abide´
The lost�察�lost maid that roams earth's kingdoms wide��
PROMETHEUS
What thou wouldst learn I will make clear to thee��
Not weaving subtleties�察�but simple sooth
Unfolding as the mouth should speak to friends。
I am Prometheus�察�giver of fire to mortals。
IO
Oh universal succour of mankind��
Sorrowful Prometheus�察�why art thou punished thus��
PROMETHEUS
I have but now ceased mourning for my griefs。
IO
Wilt thou not grant me then so small a boon��
PROMETHEUS
What is it thou dost ask�拭�Thou shalt know all。
IO
Declare to me who chained thee in this gorge。
PROMETHEUS
The hest of Zeus�察�but 'twas Hephaestus' hand。
IO
But what transgression dost thou expiate��
PROMETHEUS
Let this suffice thee�此�thou shalt know no more。
IO
Nay�察�but the end of my long wandering
When shall it be�拭�This too thou must declare。
PROMETHEUS
That it is better for thee not to know。
IO
Oh hide not from me what I have to suffer��
PROMETHEUS
Poor child� �Poor child� �I do not grudge the gift。
IO
Why then�察�art thou so slow to tell me all��
PROMETHEUS
It is not from unkindness�察�but I fear
'Twill break thy heart。
IO
Take thou no thought for me
Where thinking thwarteth heart's desire��
PROMETHEUS
So keen
To know thy sorrows� �List I and thou shalt learn。
CHORUS
Not till thou hast indulged a wish of mine。
First let us hear the story of her grief
And she herself shall tell the woeful tale。
After�察�thy wisdom shall impart to her
The conflict yet to come。
PROMETHEUS
