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
Dipping a two´edged
