Thetis. |
Prometheus appears upon Mount Caucaſus chain’d to a Rock, with a Vulture at his Breaſt. Peleus enters addreſſing himſelf to Prometheus.
Accompanied Recitative.
Peleus.
Condemn’d on Caucaſus to lie,
Still to be dying, not to die;
With certain Pain uncertain of Relief,
True Emblem of a wretched Lover’s Grief!
To whoſe inſpecting Eye ’tis given
To view the Planetary Way,
To penetrate Eternal Day,
And to revolve the Starry Heaven.
AIR.
To thee, Prometheus, I complain,
And bring a Heart as full of Pain.
Recitative.
Prometheus.
From Jupiter ſpring all our Woes,
Thetis is Jove’s, who once was thine:
’Tis vain, O Peleus, to oppoſe
Thy Torturer—and mine.
Contented
