For ever struggle with the partial good,

And cling to his condition. But the man,

Who gains the woman of injurious kind,

Lives bearing in his secret soul and heart

Inevitable sorrow: ills so deep

As all the balms of medicine cannot cure.

Therefore it is not lawful to elude

The eye of Heaven, nor mock th’ Omniscient Mind.

For not Prometheus, the benevolent,

Could shun Heaven’s heavy wrath: and vain were all
