Come, see the Dolphin's anchor forged; 'tis at a white heat now: The billow ceased, the flames decreased; though on the forge's brow The little flames still fitfully play through the sable mound; And fitfully you still may see the grim smiths ranking round, All clad in leathern panoply, their broad hands only bare; Some rest upon their sledges here, some work the windlass there. - The Forging of the Anchor (st. 1) [Blacksmithing]
