PROMETHEUS BOUND
Prometheus
By his own mindless counsels shall he fall.
Io
And how? unless the telling harm, say on!
Prometheus
Wooing a bride, his ruin he shall win.
Io
Goddess, or mortal? tell me, if thou may'st.
Prometheus
No matter which—more must not be revealed.
Io
Doth then a consort thrust him from his throne?
Prometheus
The child she bears him shall o'ercome his sire.
Io
And hath he no avoidance of this doom?
Prometheus
None, surely—till that I, released from bonds—
Io
Who can release thee, but by will of Zeus?
