Io: A prophecy oracularly dark.

Prometheus: Then seek not thou to know thine own fate.

Io: Nay,
Tender me not a boon to snatch it from me.

Prometheus: Of two gifts thou hast asked one shall be thine.

Io: What gifts? Pronounce and leave to me the choice.

Prometheus: Nay, thou are free to choose. Say, therefore, whether
I shall declare to thee thy future woes
Or him who shall be my deliverer.

Chorus: Nay, but let both be granted! Unto her
That which she chooseth, unto me my choice,
That I, too, may have honour from thy lips.
First unto her declare her wanderings,
And unto me him who shall set thee free;
'Tis that I long to know.
