PROMETHEUS BOUND

OKEANOS

Suffer that ill to cleave to me: 'tis gain
To be simple-seeming, being simply good.


PROMETHEUS

The folly will be written down to me.


OKEANOS

Roundly, thy word enjoins me brief return.


PROMETHEUS

I fear thy voice uplift in my complaint
May bring thee into variance.


OKEANOS

Thou would'st speak
Of him late-set on the all-sovereign throne?


PROMETHEUS

Of him. Beware him, lest his wrath be kindled. 390
