Pandora - Voltaire
ACT I.
SCENE I.
The scene represents a fine country, with mountains at a distance.
Prometheus, Chorus of Nymphs, Pandora.
[At the farther end of the stage, lying down in an alcove.]
Prometheus: In vain, Pandora, do I call on thee, My lovely work; alas! thou hearest me not, All stranger as thou art to thy own charms, And to Prometheus’ love: the heart I formed Is still insensible; thy eyes are void Of motion; still the ruthless power of Jove Denies thee life, and drives me to despair: Whilst nature breathes around thee, and the birds In tender notes express their passion, thou Art still inanimate; death holds thee still Beneath his cruel empire.
SCENE II.
Prometheus, the Titans, Enceladus, Typhon, etc.
Enceladus and Typhon: Child of Earth And Heaven, thy cries have raised the forest; speak; Who amongst the gods hath wronged Prometheus?
Prometheus: [Pointing to Pandora.] Jove Is jealous of my work divine; he fears That altars will be raised to my Pandora; He cannot bear to see the earth adorned With such a peerless object; he denies To grant her life, and makes my woes eternal.
Typhon:
