And couch I hymned,

With the design of marriage, when my father's child

With bridal gifts persuading, thou didst lead

Hesione the partner of thy bed.

Prometheus, Chorus, and Io.

Io. What earth, what race, what being shall I is this

I see in bridles of rock

Exposed? By what crime's

Penalty dost thou perish? Show, to what part

Of earth I miserable have wandered.
