Oceanus: Nay then, Prometheus, art thou ignorant
Words are physicians to a wrath-sick soul?

Prometheus: Yes, if with skill one soften the ripe core,
Not by rough measures make it obdurate.

Oceanus: Seest thou in warm affection detriment
Or aught untoward in adventuring?

Prometheus: A load of toil and a light mind withal.

Oceanus: Then give me leave to call that sickness mine.
Wise men accounted fools attain their ends.

Prometheus: But how if I am galled by thine offence?

Oceanus: There very palpably thou thrustest home.
