Paul Mazon (Editor)

durerai pendant des jours sans nombre. Voilà donc les liens d'infamie qu'a imaginés pour moi le jeune chef des Bienheureux ! Las ! las ! et le mal qui m'accable et le mal qui m'attend m'arrachent des sanglots : après quelles
épreuves la délivrance luira-elle enfin ?
Parlé.

PROMETHEUS
Plainly I'll tell thee all thou wouldest learn,
Not weaving riddles, but in simple phrase,
As meet it is with friends to ope the lips.
Prometheus seest thou, giver of fire to mortals.

Eternal ages, year on year!
Such and so shameful is the chain
Which Heaven's new tyrant doth ordain
105
To bind me helpless here.
Woe! for the ruthless present doom!
Woe! for the Future's teeming womb!
On what far dawn, in what dim skies,
Shall star of my deliverance rise?

Solch schmähliche Fess'lung sann er mir aus,
