Hephaestus: Here are the iron bracelets for his arms.

Kratos: Fasten them round his arms with all thy strength!
Strike with thy hammer! Nail him to the rocks!

Hephaestus: 'Tis done! and would that it were done less well!

Kratos: Harder-I say-strike harder-screw all tight
And be not in the least particular
Remiss, for unto one of his resource
Bars are but instruments of liberty.

Hephaestus: This forearm's fast: a shackle hard to shift.

Kratos: Now buckle this! and handsomely! Let him learn
Sharp though he be, he's a dull blade to Zeus.
