I	A
	-
Titan to whose immortal eyes	B
The sufferings of mortality	C
Seen in their sad reality	C
Were not as things that gods despise	B
What was thy pity's recompense	D
A silent suffering and intense	D
The rock the vulture and the chain	E
All that the proud can feel of pain	E
The agony they do not show	F
The suffocating sense of woe	F
Which speaks but in its loneliness	G
And then is jealous lest the sky	A
Should have a listener nor will sigh	A
Until its voice is echoless	G
	-
II	A
	-
Titan to thee the strife was given	H
Between the suffering and the will	I
Which torture where they cannot kill	I
And the inexorable Heaven	H
And the deaf tyranny of Fate	J
The ruling principle of Hate	J
Which for its pleasure doth create	J
The things it may annihilate	J
Refused thee even the boon to die	A
The wretched gift Eternity	C
Was thine and thou hast borne it well	K
All that the Thunderer wrung from thee	C
Was but the menace which flung back	L
On him the torments of thy rack	L
The fate thou didst so well foresee	C
But would not to appease him tell	K
And in thy Silence was his Sentence	G
And in his Soul a vain repentance	G
And evil dread so ill dissembled	C
That in his hand the lightnings trembled	C
	-
III	A
	-
Thy Godlike crime was to be kind	C
To render with thy precepts less	G
The sum of human wretchedness	G
And strengthen Man with his own mind	C
But baffled as thou wert from high	A
Still in thy patient energy	C
In the endurance and repulse	G
Of thine impenetrable Spirit	C
Which Earth and Heaven could not convulse	G
A mighty lesson we inherit	C
Thou art a symbol and a sign	M
To Mortals of their fate and force	G
Like thee Man is in part divine	M
A troubled stream from a pure source	G
And Man in portions can foresee	G
His own funereal destiny	G
His wretchedness and his resistance	G
And his sad unallied existence	G
To which his Spirit may oppose	G
Itself an equal to all woes m	N
And a firm will and a deep sense	G
Which even in torture can descry	O
Its own concentered recompense	G
Triumphant where it dares defy	A
And making Death a Victory	O
