    For every wife shall strike her husband down

    Dipping a two´edged broadsword in his blood。

    Oh�察�that mine enemies might wed such wivesl

    But of the fifty�察�one alone desire

    Shall tame�察�as with the stroke of charming´wand��

    So that she shall not lift her hands to slay

    The partner of her bed�察�yea�察�melting love

    Shall blunt her sharp´set will�察�and she shall choose

    Rather to be called weak and womanly

    Than the dark stain of blood�察�and she shall be

    Mother of kings in Argos。 'Tis a tale

    Were't told in full�察�would occupy us long。

    For�察�of her sowing�察�there shall spring to fame

    The lion's whelp�察�the archer bold�察�whose bow

    Shall set me free。 This is the oracle

    Themis�察�my ancient Mother�察�Titan´born��

    Disclosed to me�察�but how and in what wise

    Were long to tell�察�nor would it profit thee。

  IO

    Again they come�察�again

    The fury and the pain��

    The gangrened wound� �The ache of pulses dinned

    With raging throes

    It beats upon my brain´the burning wind

    That madness blows��

    It pricks´the barb�察�the hook not forged with heat��

    The gadfly dart��

    Against my ribs with thud of trampling feet

    Hammers my heart��

    And like a bowling wheel mine eyeballs spin��

    And I am flung

    By fierce winds from my course�察�nor can rein in

    My frantic tongue

    That raves I know not what� �a random tide

    Of words´a froth

    Of muddied waters buffeting the wide��

    High´crested�察�hateful wave of ruin and God's wrath��



                                                         Exit raving。



  CHORUS

    I hold him wise who first in his own mind

    This canon fixed and taught it to mankind��

    True marriage is the union that mates

    Equal with equal�察�not where wealth emasculates��

    Or mighty lineage is magnified��

    Should he who earns his bread look for a bride。

    Therefore�察�grave mistresses of fate�察�I pray

    That I may never live to see the day

    When Zeus takes me for his bedfellow�察�or

    Draw near in love to husband from on high。

    For I am full of fear when I behold

    Io�察�the maid no human love may fold��

    And her virginity disconsolate��

    Homeless and husbandless by Hera's hate。

    For me�察�when love is level�察�fear is far。

    May none of all the Gods that greater are

    Eve me with his unshunnable regard��

    Fir in that warfare victory is hard��

    And of that plenty cometh emptiness。

    What should befall me then I dare not guess��

    Nor whither I should flee that I might shun

    The craft and subtlety of Cronos' Son。

  PROMETHEUS

    I tell thee that the self´willed pride of Zeus

    Shall surely be abased�察�that even now

    He plots a marriage that shall hurl him forth

    Far out of sight of his imperial throne

    And kingly dignity。 Then�察�in that hour��

    Shall be fulfilled�察�nor in one tittle fail��

    The curse wherewith his father Cronos cursed him��

    What time he fell from his majestic place

    Established from of old。 And such a stroke

    None of the Gods save me could turn aside。

    I know these things shall be and on what wise。

    Therefore let him secure him in his seat��

    And put his trust in airy noise�察�and swing

    His bright�察�two´handed�察�blazing thunderbolt��

    For these shall nothing stead him�察�nor avert

    Fall insupportable and glory humbled。

    A wrestler of such might he maketh ready

    For his own ruin�察�yea�察�a wonder�察�strong

    In strength unmatchable�察�and he shall find

    Fire that shall set at naught the burning bolt

    And blasts more dreadful that o'er´crow the thunder。

    The pestilence that scourgeth the deep seas

    And shaketh solid earth�察�the three´pronged mace��

    Poseidon's spear�察�a mightier shall scatter��

    And when he stumbleth striking there his foot��

    Fallen on evil days�察�the tyrant's pride

    Shall measure all the miserable length

    That parts rule absolute from servitude。

  CHORUS

    Methinks the wish is father to the thought

    And whets thy railing tongue。

  PROMETHEUS

    Not so�此�the wish And the accomplishment go hand in hand。

  CHORUS

    Then must we look for one who shall supplant

    And reign instead of Zeus��

    Far�察�far more grievous shall bow down his neck。

  CHORUS

    Hast thou no fear venting such blasphemy��

  PROMETHEUS

    What should I fear who have no part nor lot

    In doom of dying��

  CHORUS

    But he might afflict the

    With agony more dreadful�察�pain beyond

    These pains。

  PROMETHEUS

    Why let him if he will

    All evils I foreknow。

  CHORUS

    Ah�察�they are wise

    Who do obeisance�察�prostrate in the dust��

    To the implacable�察�eternal Will。

  PROMETHEUS

    Go thou and worship�察�fold thy hands in prayer��

    And be the dog that licks the foot of power��

    Nothing care I for Zeus�察�yea�察�less than naught��

    Let him do what he will�察�and sway the world

    His little hour�察�he has not long to lord it

    Among the Gods。

    Oh here here runner comes

    The upstart tyrant's lacquey� �He'll bring news��

    A message�察�never doubt it�察�from his master。



                     Enter HERMES。



    Hermes。 You�察�the sophistical rogue�察�the heart of gall��

    The renegade of heaven�察�to short´lived men

    Purveyor of prerogatives and tities��

    Fire´thief� �Dost hear me�拭�I've a word for thee。

    Thou'rt to declare´this is the Father's pleasure

    These marriage´feasts of thine�察�whereof thy tongue

    Rattles a´pace�察�and by the which his greatness

    Shall take a fall。 And look you rede no riddles��

    But tell the truth�察�in each particular

    Exact。 I am not to sweat for thee�察�Prometheus��

    Upon a double journey。 And thou seest

    Zeus by thy dark defiance is not moved。

  PROMETHEUS

    A very solemn piece of insolence

    Spoken like an underling of the Gods� �Ye are young��

    Ye are young� �New come to power And ye suppose

    Your towered citadel Calamity

    Can never enter� �Ah�察�and have not

    Seen from those pinnacles a two´fold fall

    Of tyrants�拭�And the third�察�who his brief ;now;

    Of lordship arrogates�察�I shall see yet

    By lapse most swift' most ignominious��

    Sink to perdition。 And dost thou suppose

    I crouch and cower in reverence and awe

    To Gods of yesterday�拭�I fail of that

    So much�察�the total all of space and time

    Bulks in between。 Take thyself hence and count

    Thy toiling steps back by the way thou camest��

    In nothing wiser for thy questionings。

  HERMES

    This is that former stubbornness of thine

    That brought thee hither to foul anchorage。

  PROMETHEUS

    Mistake me not�察�I would not�察�if I might��

    Change my misfortunes for thy vassalage。

  HERMES

    Oh� �better be the vassal of this rock

    Than born the trusty messenger of Zeus

  PROMETHEUS

    I answer insolence�察�as it deserves��

    With insolence。 How else should it be answered��

  HERMES

    Surely�察�and�察�being in trouble�察�it is plain

    You revel in your plight。

  PROMETHEUS

    Revel�察�forsooth��

    I would my enemies might hold such revels

    And thou amongst the first。

  HERMES

    Dost thou blame me

    For thy misfortunes��

  PROMETHEUS

    I hate all the Gods��

    Because�察�having received good at my hands��

    They have rewarded me with evil。

    Proves thee stark mad��

  HERMES

    This proves thee stark mad��

  PROMETHEUS

    Mad as you please�察�if hating

    Your enemies is madness

  HERMES

    Were all well

    With thee�察�thou'dst be insufferable��

  PROMETHEUS

    Alas��

  HERMES

    Alas�察�that Zeus knows not that word�察�Alas��

  PROMETHEUS

    But ageing Time teacheth all knowledge。

  HERMES

    Time

    Hath not yet taught thy rash�察�imperious will

    Over wild impulse to win mastery。

  PROMETHEUS

    Nay�此�had Time taught me that�察�I had not stooped

    To bandy words with such a slave as thou。

  HERMES

    This�察�then�察�is all thine answer�此�thou'lt not

    One syllable of what our Father asks。

  PROMETHEUS

    Oh�察�that I were a debtor to his kindness��

    I would requite him to the uttermost��

  HERMES

    A cutting speech� �You take me for a boy

    Whom you may taunt and tease。

  PROMETHEUS

    Why art thou not

    A boy´a very booby´to suppose

    Thou wilt get aught from me�拭�There is no wrong

    However shameful�察�nor no shift of malice

    Whereby Zeus shall persuade me to unlock

    My lips until these shackles be cast loose。

    Therefore let lightning leap with smoke and flame��

    And all that is be beat and tossed together��

    With whirl of feathery snowflakes and loud crack

    Of subterranean thunder�察�none of these

    Shall bend my will or force me to disclose

    By whom 'tis fated he shall fall from power。

  HERMES

    What good can come of this�拭�Think yet again��

  PROMETHEUS

    I long ago have thought and long ago

    Determined。

  HERMES

    Patience� �patience� �thou rash fool

    Have so much patience as to school thy mind

    To a right judgment in thy present troubles。

  PROMETHEUS

    Lo�察�I am rockfast�察�and thy words are wave

    That weary me in vain。 Let not the thought

    Enter thy mind�察�that I in awe of Zeus

    Shall change my nature for a girl's�察�or beg

    The Loathed beyond all loathing´with my hands

    Spread out in woman's fashion´to cast loose

    These bonds�察�from that I am utterly removed。

  HERMES

    I have talked much�察�yet further not my purpose��

    For thou art in no whit melted or moved

    By my prolonged entreaties�此�like a colt

    New to the harness thou dost back and Plunge。

    Snap at thy bit and fight against the rein。

    And yet thy confidence is in a straw��

    For stubbornness�察�if one be in the wrong��

    Is in itself weaker than naught at all。
