Mercury (Tenor)
Awful sufferer!
To thee unwilling, most unwillingly
I come, by the great Father's will driv'n down,
To execute a doom of new revenge,
Oh, that we might be spared: I to inflict
And thou to suffer! Once more answer me:
Thou knowest not the period of Jove's power!
Prometheus (Baritone)
I know but this, that it must come.
Mercury (Tenor)
Alas!
Thou canst not count thine years to come of pain?
Prometheus (Baritone)
They last while Jove doth reign: nor more, nor less
Do I desire or fear.
Mercury (Tenor)
If thou might'st dwell among the Gods the while
Lapp'd in voluptuous joy?
Prometheus (Baritone)
I would not quit
This bleak ravine, these unrepentant pains.
Mercury (Tenor)
Alas! I wonder at, yet pity thee.
Prometheus (Baritone)
Pity the self-despising slaves of Heav'n,
Not me, within whose mind sits peace serene,
As light in the sun, thronèd: how vain is talk!
Call up the fiends.
Mercury (Tenor)
I must obey his words and thine: alas!
Most heavily remorse hangs at my heart!
