Heph. I knew it, and have naught to say against these things.
Kr. Will you not haste, then, to put the bonds about him,
That the Father may not observe you loitering?
Heph. Already at hand the shackles you may see.
Kr. Taking them, about his hands with firm strength
Strike with the hammer, and nail him to the rocks.
Heph. 'T is done, and not in vain this work.
Kr. Strike harder, tighten, nowhere relax,
For he is skillful to find out ways e'en from the impracticable.
Heph. Ay, but this arm is fixed inextricably.
