SPIRITS, ASIA, and PANTHEA, borne in the car with
the SPIRIT OF THE HOUR.
HERCULES unbinds PROMETHEUS, who descends.
Herc. Most glorious among spirits, thus doth strength
To wisdom, courage, and long-suffering love,
And thee, who art the form they animate,
Minister like a slave.
Pro.Thy gentle words
Are sweeter even than freedom long desired
And long delayed.
Asia, thou light of life,
Shadow of beauty unbeheld; and ye,
Fair sister nymphs, who made long years of pain
