PROMETHEUS BOUND
What burden of coming days is yet to endure,—
Show me some sign!———
Or if thou know'st binding or balm to cure
Such wound as mine.
Unlock thy lips and use
Free speech to her that sues,
The maid of evil star,
The maid that wanders far.
PROMETHEUS
I will resolve thee all thy heart would know,
Not with dark circumstance, but words full plain, 610
As right would, friend should open mouth to friend.
Thou see'st Prometheus, him that gave men fire.
Io
O thou on all men risen a light of help,
Prometheus, what thing hast thou done, unhappy,
To suffer this?
