PROMETHEUS BOUND
Whenas his foot hath struck such evil, learn
How different to rule is and to serve.
CHORUS
Arm'd of inveterate desire thy tongue
Makes battery on Zeus.
PROMETHEUS
I speak the thing
That shall be, and no less thereby the thing
That I desire.
CHORUS
And must we look indeed
For Zeus to find his better? 930
PROMETHEUS
That and more,
A yoke more difficult for the neck to bear.
CHORUS
How art thou not afraid, slinging such words?
72
