Chor. Not to unwilling hearers hast thou uttered,

Prometheus, thy request,

And now with nimble foot abounding

My swiftly rushing car,

And the pure æther, path of birds of heaven,

290

I will draw near this rough and rocky land,

For much do I desire

To hear this tale, full measure, of thy woes.
