Esfandiyar Breaks His Own Fetters

From C6.30, Jamasp Visits Esfandiyar. It illustrates C6.30.69–74:

C6.30.69
The work dragged on; the captive’s anger grew,And all his former calmness vanished too.
C6.30.70
He cried, “Shame on your hands! You bind men tight,But cannot break their bonds with all your might.”
C6.30.71
He twisted, sprang upright, and stretched his handDown to his feet to seize the iron band.
C6.30.72
He strained with feet and hands through sudden pain,And broke to pieces fetter, ring, and chain.
C6.30.73
His strength gave out; he fell upon the ground,Unconscious from the pain, his limbs unbound.
C6.30.74
Jamasp, who read the stars, gave praise again,Amazed to see such power in mortal men.
