    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

    So be it�察�then。

    And�察�Io�察�thus much courtesy thou owest

    These maidens being thine own father's kin。

    For with a moving story of our woes

    To win a tear from weeping auditors

    In nought demeans the teller。

  IO

    I know not

    How fitly to refuse�察�and at your wish

    All ye desire to know I will in plain��

    Round terms set forth。 And yet the telling of it

    Harrows my soul�察�this winter's tale of wrong��

    Of angry Gods and brute deformity��

    And how and why on me these horrors swooped。

    Always there were dreams visiting by night

    The woman's chambers where I slept�察�and they

    With flattering words admonished and cajoled me��

    Saying�察 �O lucky one�察�so long a maid��

    And what a match for thee if thou would'st wed

    Why�察�pretty�察�here is Zeus as hot as hot´

    Love´sick´to have thee� �Such a bolt as thou

    Hast shot clean through his heart And he won't rest

    Till Cypris help him win thee� �Lift not then��

    My daughter�察�a proud foot to spurn the bed

    Of Zeus�此�but get thee gone to meadow deep

    By Lerna's marsh�察�where are thy father's flocks

    And cattle´folds�察�that on the eye of Zeus

    May fall the balm that shall assuage desire。;

    Such dreams oppressed me�察�troubling all my nights��

    Woe's me� �till I plucked courage up to tell

    My father of these fears that walked in darkness。

    And many times to Pytho and Dodona

    He sent his sacred missioners�察�to inquire

    How�察�or by deed or word�察�he might conform

    To the high will and pleasure of the Gods。

    And they returned with slippery oracles��

    Nought plain�察�but all to baffle and perplex´

    And then at last to Inachus there raught

    A saying that flashed clear�察�the drift�察�that

    Must be put out from home and country�察�forced

    To be a wanderer at the ends of the earth��

    A thing devote and dedicate�察�and if

    I would not�察�there should fall a thunderbolt

    From Zeus�察�with blinding flash�察�and utterly

    Destroy my race。 So spake the oracle

    Of Loxias。 In sorrow he obeyed��

    And from beneath his roof drove forth his child

    Grieving as he grieved�察�and from house and home

    Bolted and barred me out。 But the high hand

    Of Zeus bear hardly on the rein of fate。

    And�察�instantly´even in a moment´mind

    And body suffered strange distortion。 Horned

    Even as ye see me now�察�and with sharp bite

    Of gadfly pricked�察�with high´flung skip�察�stark´mad��

    I bounded�察�galloping headlong on�察�until

    I came to the sweet and of the stream

    Kerchneian�察�hard by Lerna's spring。 And thither

    Argus�察�the giant herdsman�察�fierce and fell

    As a strong wine unmixed�察�with hateful cast

    Of all his cunning eyes upon the trail��

    Gave chase and tracked me down。 And there he perished

    By violent and sudden doom surprised。

    But I with darting sting´the scorpion whip

    Of angry Gods´am lashed from land to land。

    Thou hast my story�察�and�察�if thou can'st tell

    What I have still to suffer�察�speak�察�but do not��

    Moved by compassion�察�with a lying tale

    Warm my cold heart�察�no sickness of the soul

    Is half so shameful as composed falsehoods。

  CHORUS

    Off� �lost one� �off� �Horror�察�I cry��

    Horror and misery

    Was this the traveller's tale I craved to hear��

    Oh�察�that mine eyes should see

    A sight so ill to look upon� �Ah me��

    Sorrow�察�defilement�察�haunting fear��

    Fan my blood cold��

    Stabbed with a two´edged sting��

    O Fate�察�Fate�察�Fate�察�tremblingly I behold

    The plight of Io�察�thine apportioning��

  PROMETHEUS

    Thou dost lament too soon�察�and art as one

    All fear。 Refrain thyself till thou hast heard

    What's yet to be。

  CHORUS

    Speak and be our instructor��

    There is a kind of balm to the sick soul

    In certain knowledge of the grief to come。

  PROMETHEUS

    Your former wish I lightly granted ye��
