PANTHEA
  A woful sight: a youth
  With patient looks nailed to a crucifix.

IONE
  What next?

PANTHEA
  The heaven around, the earth below,
  Was peopled with thick shapes of human death,
  All horrible, and wrought by human hands;
  And some appeared the work of human hearts,
  For men were slowly killed by frowns and smiles;
  And other sights too foul to speak and live
  Were wandering by. Let us not tempt worse fear
  By looking forth; those groans are grief enough.

FURY
  Behold an emblem: those who do endure
  Deep wrongs for man, and scorn, and chains, but heap
  Thousand-fold torment on themselves and him.

PROMETHEUS
  Remit the anguish of that lighted stare;
  Close those wan lips; let that thorn-wounded brow
  Stream not with blood; it mingles with thy tears!
  Fix, fix those tortured orbs in peace and death,
  So thy sick throes shake not that crucifix,
  So those pale fingers play not with thy gore.
  Oh, horrible! Thy name I will not speak--
  It hath become a curse. I see, I see
  The wise, the mild, the lofty, and the just,
  Whom thy slaves hate for being like to thee,
