Io. Would you not grant this favor to me?
Pr. Say what you ask; for you'd learn all from me.
Io. Say who has bound thee to the cliff.
Pr. The will, indeed, of Zeus, Hephaistus' hand.
Io. And penalty for what crimes dost thou pay?
Pr. Thus much only can I show thee.
Io. But beside this, declare what time will be
To me unfortunate the limit of my wandering.
Pr. Not to learn is better for thee than to learn these things.
Io. Conceal not from me what I am to suffer.
