Hermes.

By how I hear thee rave thou'rt mad enough.


Prometheus.

Let me be mad, if to hate foes be madness. 1015 (999)


Hermes.

In prosperous case thoud'st be intolerable.


Prometheus.

Ah me!


Hermes.

Aye, there's a word Zeus does not know.


Prometheus.

But time as it gains age doth all things teach.


Hermes.

And yet thou hast not learned to be discreet.


Prometheus.

Else should I not with thee, a menial, talk. 1020 (1004)


Hermes.

Thou'rt like to tell me nought the father asks.


Prometheus.

Aye! I should pay the grace I'm in his debt!
