PROMETHEUS BOUND.

Pro. Of my other words
Be mindful; these, 'tis not the hour to speak
But to veil closely; for, preserving these,
'Scape I the anguish and the fetter's shame.
Chorus.
Strophe 1.
Oppose his will to my desire!
Nor e'er with sacrificial fire,
Bull-consuming, sanctified,
By my father's deathless tide,
May I godward cease to move!
Nor e'er my lips offend in pride!
But may this counsel aye abide;
And never from its source be dried.
