PROMETHEUS BOUND
PROMETHEUS
No unkindness.
Woman, I would not urge thy soul to frenzy.
Io
Push not thy care for me beyond my liking.
PROMETHEUS
For thou art instant, I am bound to speak. 630
Hear then.
CHORUS
O stay a little! I too claim
My part of satisfaction. Let us first
Be certified the manner of her affliction.
From her own mouth we fain would have the tale
Of all the adventures, which have marr'd her days.
PROMETHEUS
It falls to thee, Io, to minister
The grace these ask for; and it well behoves thee,
