To gaze on me ? Who or whate'er ye be, ye see in me A most ill-fated God, by hate of Zeus Enchained, and universal enmity Of all who come and go through Heaven's halls, Hate bred of mine o'er-mastering love for Man. Alas, alas ! a quivering sound I hear As of birds near me ; all the air sings low With lightsome sweep and rustle of many wings. Whate'er approaches me, I tremble at it. Chorus of Oceanids. No need to tremble now, For friendly comes my company Unto this mountain-brow ; On emulous pi...nions did I fly, Making fleet winds my convoy through the sky. But scarcely could my pleading win K 1 30 Prometheus Bound. Our Father's temper to my will, While beat on beat the stroke and din Of hammered iron woke the still Recesses of our caves afar, And striking, drove away grave-featured shame, So that unsandalled to this winged car I darted and I came. Prom. Offspring of fruitful Tethys, children too Of Father Ocean, whose unresting flood Is rolling ever round the world, mark, mark, How, staked and bound to the extremest crags Of this ravine, I mount unenvied guard.
