  It is the unpastured sea hungering for calm.
  Peace, monster; I come now. Farewell.

APOLLO
  Farewell.

SCENE III.--Caucasus. PROMETHEUS, HERCULES, IONE, the EARTH, SPIRITS, ASIA, and PANTHEA, borne in the Car with the SPIRIT OF THE HOUR. HERCULES unbinds PROMETHEUS, who descends.

HERCULES
  Most glorious among spirits! thus doth strength
  To wisdom, courage, and long-suffering love,
  And thee, who art the form they animate,
  Minister like a slave.

PROMETHEUS
  Thy gentle words
  Are sweeter even than freedom long desired
  And long delayed.

  Asia, thou light of life,
  Shadow of beauty unbeheld; and ye,
  Fair sister nymphs, who made long years of pain
