Hermes: Oh! better be the vassal of this rock
Than born the trusty messenger of Zeus

Prometheus: I answer insolence, as it deserves,
With insolence. How else should it be answered?

Hermes: Surely; and, being in trouble, it is plain
You revel in your plight.

Prometheus: Revel, forsooth!
I would my enemies might hold such revels
And thou amongst the first.

Hermes: Dost thou blame me
For thy misfortunes?

Prometheus: I hate all the Gods,
Because, having received good at my hands,
They have rewarded me with evil.
Proves thee stark mad!
