    In certain knowledge of the grief to come。

  PROMETHEUS

    Your former wish I lightly granted ye��

    And ye have heard�察�even as ye desired��

    From this maid's lips the story of her sorrow。

    Now hear the sequel�察�the ensuing woes

    The damsel must endure from Hera's hate。

    And thou�察�O seed of Inachaean loins��

    Weigh well my words�察�that thou may'st understand

    Thy journey's end。 First towards the rising sun

    Turn hence�察�and traverse fields that ne'er felt plough

    Until thou reach the country of the Scyths��

    A race of wanderers handling the long´bow

    That shoots afar�察�and having their habitations

    Under the open sky in wattled cotes

    That move on wheels。 Go not thou nigh to them��

    But ever within sound of the breaking waver��

    Pass through their land。 And on the left of the

    The Chalybes�察�workers in iron�察�dwell。

    Beware of them�察�for they are savages��

    Who suffer not a stranger to come near。

    And thou shalt reach the river Hybristes��

    Well named。 Cross not�察�for it is ill to cross��

    Until thou come even unto Caucasus��

    Highest of mountains�察�where the foaming river

    Blows all its volume from the summit ridge

    That o'ertops all。 And that star´neighboured ridge

    Thy feet must climb�察�and�察�following the road

    That runneth south�察�thou presently shall reach

    The Amazonian hosts that loathe the male��

    And shall one day remove from thence and found

    Themiscyra hard by Thermodon's stream��

    Where on the craggy Salmadessian coast

    Waves gnash their teeth�察�the maw of mariners

    And step´mother of ships。 And they shall lead the

    Upon thy way�察�and with a right good will。

    Then shalt thou come to the Cimmerian Isthmus��

    Even at the pass and portals of the sea��

    And leaving it behind thee�察�stout of heart��

    Cross o'er the channel of Maeotis' lake。

    For ever famous among men shall be

    The story of thy crossing�察�and the strait

    Be called by a new name�察�the Bosporus��

    In memory of thee。 Then having left

    Europa's soil behind thee thou shalt come

    To the main land of Asia。 What think ye��

    Is not the only ruler of the Gods

    A complete tyrant�察�violent to all��

    Respecting none�拭�First�察�being himself a God��

    He burneth to enjoy a mortal maid��

    And then torments her with these wanderings。

    A sorry suitor for thy love�察�poor girl��

    A bitter wooing。 Yet having heard so much

    Thou art not even in the overture

    And prelude of the song。

  IO

    Alas� �Oh� �Oh��

  PROMETHEUS

    Thou dost cryout�察�fetching again deep groans��

    What wilt thou do when thou hast heard in full

    The evils yet to come��

  CHORUS

    And wilt thou tell

    The maiden something further�此�some fresh sorrow��

  PROMETHEUS

    A stormy sea of wrong and ruining。

  IO

    What does it profit me to live� �Oh�察�why

    Do I not throw myself from this rough crag

    And in one leap rid me of all my pain��

    Better to die at once than live�察�and all

    My days be evil。

  PROMETHEUS

    Thou would'st find it hard

    To bear what I must bear�此�for unto me

    It is not given to die�察�a dear release

    From pain�察�but now of suffering there is

    No end in sight till Zeus shall fall。

  IO

    And shall

    Zeus fall�拭�His power be taken from him��

    No matter when if true´

  PROMETHEUS

    'Twould make thee happy

    Methinks�察�if thou could'st see calamity

    Whelm him。

  IO

    How should it not when all my woes

    Are of his sending�拭�learn how

    These things shall be。

    The tyrant's rod��

    And fond imaginings。

  IO

    But how�拭�Oh�察�speak��

    If the declaring draw no evil down I

  PROMETHEUS

    A marriage he shall make shall vex him sore。

  IO

    A marriage�拭�Whether of gods or mortals��

    Speak��

    If this be utterable��

  PROMETHEUS

    Why dost thou ask

    What I may not declare��

  IO

    And shall he quit

    The throne of all the worlds�察�by a new spouse

    Supplanted��

  PROMETHEUS

    She will bear to him a child��

    And he shall be in might more excellent

    Than his progenitor。

  IO

    And he will find

    No way to parry this strong stroke of fate��

  PROMETHEUS

    None save my own self´when these bonds are loosed。

  IO

    And who shall loose them if Zeus wills not��

    Of thine own seed。

    How say'st thou�拭�Shall a child

    Of mine release thee��

  PROMETHEUS

    Son of thine�察�but son

    The thirteenth generation shall beget。

  IO

    A prophecy oracularly dark。

  PROMETHEUS

    Then seek not thou to know thine own fate。

  IO

    Nay��

    Tender me not a boon to snatch it from me。

  PROMETHEUS

    Of two gifts thou hast asked one shall be thine。

  IO

    What gifts�拭�Pronounce and leave to me the choice。

  PROMETHEUS

    Nay�察�thou are free to choose。 Say�察�therefore�察�whether

    I shall declare to thee thy future woes

    Or him who shall be my deliverer。

  CHORUS

    Nay�察�but let both be granted� �Unto her

    That which she chooseth�察�unto me my choice��

    That I�察�too�察�may have honour from thy lips。

    First unto her declare her wanderings��

    And unto me him who shall set thee free��

    'Tis that I long to know。

  PROMETHEUS

    I will resist

    No further�察�but to your importunacy

    All things which ye´desire to learn reveal。

    And�察�Io�察�first to thee I will declare

    Thy far´driven wanderings�察�write thou my words

    In the retentive tablets of thy heart。

    When thou hast crossed the flood that flows between

    And is the boundary of two continents��

    Turn to the sun's uprising�察�where he treads

    Printing with fiery steps the eastern sky��

    And from the roaring of the Pontic surge

    Do thou pass on�察�until before thee lies

    The Gorgonean plain�察�Kisthene called��

    Where dwell the gray´haired three�察�the Phorcides��

    Old�察�mumbling maids�察�swan´shaped�察�having one eye

    Betwixt the three�察�and but a single tooth。

    On them the sun with his brightbeams ne'er glanceth

    Nor moon that lamps the night。 Not far from them

    The sisters three�察�the Gorgons�察�have their haunt��

    Winged forms�察�with snaky locks�察�hateful to man��

    Whom nothing mortal looking on can live。

    Thus much that thou may'st have a care of these。

    Now of another portent thou shalt hear。

    Beware the dogs of Zeus that ne'er give tongue��

    The sharp´beaked gryphons�察�and the one´eyed horde

    Of Arimaspians�察�riding upon horses��

    Who dwell around the river rolling gold��

    The ferry and the frith of Pluto's port。

    Go not thou nigh them。 After thou shalt come

    To a far land�察�a dark´skinned race�察�that dwell

    Beside the fountains of the sun�察�whence flows

    The river Ethiops�此�follow its banks

    Until thou comest to the steep´down slope

    Where from the Bibline mountains Nilus old

    Pours the sweet waters of his holy stream。

    And thou�察�the river guiding thee�察�shalt come

    To the three´sided�察�wedge´shaped land of Nile��

    Where for thyself�察�Io�察�and for thy children

    Long sojourn is appointed。 If in aught

    My story seems to stammer and to er

    From indirectness�察�ask and ask again

    Till all be manifest。 I do not lack

    For leisure�察�having more than well contents me

  CHORUS

    If there be aught that she must suffer yet��

    Or aught omitted in the narrative

    Of her long wanderings�察�I pray thee speak。

    But if thou hast told all�察�then grant the boon

    We asked and doubtless thou wilt call to mind。

  PROMETHEUS

    Nay�察�she has heard the last of her long journey。

    But�察�as some warrant for her patient hearing

    I will relate her former sufferings

    Ere she came hither。 Much I will omit

    That had detained us else with long discourse

    And touch at once her journey's thus far goal。

    When thou wast come to the Molossian plain

    That lies about the high top of Dodona��

    Where is an oracle and shrine of Zeus

    Thesprotian�察�and´portent past belief´

    The talking oaks�察�the same from whom the word

    Flashed clear and nothing questionably hailed the

    The destined spouse´ah� �do I touch old wounds�拭�

    Of Zeus�察�honoured above thy sex�察�stung thence

    In torment�察�where the road runs by the sea��

    Thou cam'st to the broad gulf of Rhea�察�whence

    Beat back by a strong wind�察�thou didst retrace

    Most painfully thy course�察�and it shall be

    That times to come in memory of thy passage

    Shall call that inlet the Ionian Sea。

    Thus much for thee in witness that my mind

    Beholdeth more than that which leaps to light。

    Now for the things to come�察�what I shall say

    Concerns ye both alike。 Return we then

    And follow our old track。 There is a city

    Yclept Canobus�察�built at the land's end��

    Even at the mouth and mounded silt of Nile��

    And there shall Zeus restore to thee thy mind

    With touch benign and laying on of hands。

    And from that touch thou shalt conceive and bear

    Swarth Epaphus�察�touch´born�察�and he shall reap

    As much of earth as Nilus watereth

    With his broad´flowing river。 In descent

    The fifth from him there shall come back to Argos��

    Thine ancient home�察�but driven by hard hap��

    Two score and ten maids�察�daughters of one house��

    Fleeing pollution of unlawful marriage

    With their next kin�察�who winged with wild desire��

    As hawks that follow hard on cushat´doves��

    Shall harry prey which they should not pursue

    And hunt forbidden brides。 But God shall be

    Exceeding jealous for their chastity��

    And old Pelasgia�察�for the mortal thrust

    Of woman's hands and midnight murder done

    Upon their new´wed lords�察�shall shelter them��

    For every wife shall strike her husband down
