PROMETHEUS BOUND
HEPHAISTOS
This arm at least it were a task to free. 60
KRATOS
Now pin thou this as surely. Let him learn,
Wise as he is, there is One of nimbler wit.
HEPHAISTOS
Such binding none could censure,—save the bound.
KRATOS
Right through his bosom now drive lustily
The fierce tooth of an adamantine wedge.
HEPHAISTOS
Alas, Prometheus! for thy pains I groan.
KRATOS
Yes, thou art soft, and for the foes of Zeus
Groanest: thou yet may'st need thy pity at home.
