PROMETHEUS BOUND
CHORUS
And Zeus, thou say'st, is less in might than these?
PROMETHEUS
Whatso stands written Zeus cannot escape.
CHORUS
Stands aught for him, but to reign on and on.
PROMETHEUS
Lo, there thy quest must end. Urge me no farther. 520
CHORUS
Some wonderful burden sure thy heart enfolds!
PROMETHEUS
Find thee another argument: this thing
The time is nowise come to utter: nay,
It must be hid full deep; for, so I hold it,
My bonds and shame and anguish are no more.
