Let the words of your prayer be moderate.
 A Danaid What sense of proportion would you now teach me?
 A Handmaiden 
 Do not ask too much of the gods.
 Chorus of Danaids and Handmaidens 
 May sovereign Zeus spare me cruel marriage with a man I hate, that very Zeus who mercifully freed Io from pain, restoring her with healing hand by kindly force.
