Chorus: Let not thy love to man o'erleap the bounds Of reason, nor neglect thy wretched state: So my fond hope suggests thou shalt be free From these base chains, nor less in power than Jove. Prometheus: Not thus - it is not in the Fates that thus These things should end; crush'd with a thousand wrongs, A thousand woes, I shall escape these chains. Necessity is stronger far than art. Chorus: Who then is ruler of necessity? Prometheus: The triple Fates and unforgetting Furies. Chorus: Must Jove then yield to their superior power? Prometheus: He no way shall escape his destined fate. Chorus: What, but eternal empire, is his fate? Prometheus: Thou mayst not know this now: forbear to inquire. Chorus: Is it of moment what thou keep'st thus close? Prometheus: No more of this discourse; it is not time Now to disclose that which requires the seal Of strictest secresy; by guarding which I shall escape the misery of these chains.
