PROMETHEUS BOUND.

25

⁠Pro.⁠Take heed, lest thou provoke Him.
⁠Ocea. O, Prometheus, thy calamity10
Shall be my teacher.
⁠Pro.⁠Go; depart, preserve
Thy present prudence.
⁠Ocea.⁠Unto me forth rushing,
Thou iteratest this desire: for now
My flying courser beateth with his wings
The wide expanse of æther, and well-pleased
Would crouch within his oceanic cave.
