For we will fetters put about this fear
Which now goes too free-footed.

Claudius uses the metaphor of putting a leash on Hamlet to contain him from doing or saying anything dangerous to the king. THis reveals that Claudius thinks Hamlet is his enemy and that Hamlet's madness is really a ploy to harm him.
