And thus, with one short word to sum the tale,
Prometheus taught all arts to mortal men.
Chorus.
Do good to men, but do it with discretion.
Why shouldst thou harm thyself? Good hope I nurse
To see thee soon from these harsh chains unbound,
As free, as mighty, as great Jove himself.
Prometheus.
This may not be; the destined course of things
Fate must accomplish; I must bend me yet
