PROMETHEUS BOUND
PROMETHEUS
I only might, if one should loose my hands;
None else. 770
Io
Nay, who is he shall loose thee, maugre
The will of Zeus?
PROMETHEUS
One of thy body sprung
Must be the looser.
Io
Ah! what word is this?
My son, thou say'st, shall lift thy burden from thee?
PROMETHEUS
Let generations ten go by: thereto
Add other three.
Io
The rede oracular
Grows darker, hard to construe.
