Asia. Who is the master of the slave?

Dem.If the abysm
Could vomit forth its secrets. But a voice

For what would it avail to bid thee gaze
On the revolving world? What to bid speak

The response thou hast given; and of such truths

That which I ask. Prometheus shall arise
Henceforth the sun of this rejoicing world:
When shall the destined hour arrive?
