PROMETHEUS BOUND

HEPHAISTOS

Thou see'st a sight not good to look upon.


KRATOS

I see a caitiff reaping his deserts. 70
But hasten, get the girths about his sides.


HEPHAISTOS

What I must do, I must: urge me not so.


KRATOS

Nay but I will both urge and tarr thee on.
Come down and strongly ring-about his legs.


HEPHAISTOS

That is soon finish'd. As I speak, 'tis done.


KRATOS

Now through his ankles drive the pins amain:
The One that judgeth of the work is stern.
