Heph. Let us withdraw, for he has a net about his limbs.

Kr. There now insult, and the shares of gods

Plundering on ephemerals bestow; what thee

Can mortals in these ills relieve?

Falsely thee the divinities Prometheus

Call; for you yourself need one foreseeing

In what manner you will escape this fortune.

Prometheus, alone.

O divine ether, and ye swift-winged winds,

Fountains of rivers, and countless smilings
