“They trapped the Lion on Shamu’s plain;
They weighted his limbs with an iron chain;
They cried aloud in the trumpet-blast,
They cried, “The lion is caged at last!”
Woe to the Cities of river and plain
If ever the Lion stalks again! — Old Ballad.”
— The Scarlet Citadel (Robert E. Howard, Weird Tales)
