Chorus: Shoot not beyond the mark in succouring man
While thou thyself art comfortless: for
Am of good hope that from these bonds escaped
Thou shalt one day be mightier than Zeus.

Prometheus: Fate, that brinks all things to an end, not thus
Apportioneth my lot: ten thousand pangs
Must bow, ten thousand miseries afflict me
Ere from these bonds I freedom find, for Art
Is by much weaker than Necessity.

Chorus: Who is the pilot of Necessity?

Prometheus: The Fates triform, and the unforgetting Furies.

Chorus: So then Zeus is of lesser might than these?

Prometheus: Surely he shall not shun the lot apportioned.
