    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
