PROMETHEUS BOUND
PROMETHEUS
Also I bid thee
Into thine own woes make not inquisition.
Io
Give me not hope to obtain, and straight e'en so
Defraud me.
PROMETHEUS
Look, of two things I vouchsafe thee
Or one or the other.
Io
What be they? Reveal them,
And give me choice.
PROMETHEUS
Behold! choose either this, 780
That I should tell thee all thy woes to come,
Or tell thee who he is, shall set me free.
