PROMETHEUS BOUND
Io
Come of gods,
Or taken of men? Say, if it be a thing
Lawful to utter.
PROMETHEUS
Ask me not of that,
Seeing it is secret, and may not be told.
Io
Shall he indeed be pluck'd up from his throne
By his wife's hand?
PROMETHEUS
By her womb rather, bearing
A son surpassing his begetter.
Io
Tell me,
Is there for him no conjuring of such peril?
