 Pain of pain, and fear of fear, and ill of ill!

O Fate! O Fate! I shudder. Spare!

What means it, Io so should fare?

Lo now, how soon thou breakest out, and showest

As one fulfill'd of fear! hold, till the rest

Be also shown thee.

Speak: be all delivered!

To them afflicted this is joy, to know

Beforehand all the process of their pain.

Thy former suit it cost thee little labour

To win from me. First thy will was to hearken,

While she that stands here set forth all the conflict

Wherein she is taken. Now attend the rest,

What things at Hera's hand this damsel yet

Must bear: and thou, O seed of Inachos,

Hide in thy heart my words, that thou may'st learn
