PROMETHEUS BOUND.

Strength. Strike with a stronger stroke, compress, relax not:—
He can find ways where others find no ways.
Vul. This arm is fix'd indissolubly.
Strength.Now

Vul.Except Prometheus,
None can upbraid me justly!
Strength.Firmly fix
Athwart his breast the pertinacious jaw
Of adamantine wedge.
Vul.Alas! alas!
Prometheus, I am mourning o'er thy fate!
Strength. Art thou a dastard? For the foes of Jove
Mourn'st thou? Take heed, lest thou bewail thyself.
Vul. A spectacle thou seest, sad to see.
Strength. I see this god endure just punishment.
