Pr. Aye, let not grief for me into hostility cast thee.

Oc. To the new occupant of the all-powerful seats?

Pr. Beware lest ever his heart be angered.

Oc. Thy fate, Prometheus, is my teacher.

Pr. Go thou, depart; preserve the present mind.

Oc. To me rushing this word you utter.

For the smooth path of the air sweeps with his wings

The four-legged bird; and gladly would

In the stalls at home bend a knee.

Prometheus and Chorus.
