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。
