Prometheus: Moreover, I conferred the gift of fire.

Chorus: And have frail mortals now the flame-bright fire?

Prometheus: Yea, and shall master many arts thereby.

Chorus: And Zeus with such misfeasance charging thee-

Prometheus: Torments me with extremity of woe.

Chorus: And is no end in prospect of thy pains?

Prometheus: None; save when he shall choose to make an end.

Chorus: How should he choose? What hope is thine? Dost thou
Not see that thou hast erred? But how thou erredst
Small pleasure were to me to tell; to the
Exceeding sorrow. Let it go then: rather
Seek thou for some deliverance from thy woes.
