You pay him then. That’s a perilous shot out of an elder gun, that a poor and private displeasure can do against a monarch. You may as well go about to turn the sun to ice with fanning in his face with a peacock’s feather. You’ll “never trust his word after.” Come, ’tis a foolish saying.
KING HENRY
Your reproof is something too round. I should be angry with you if the time were convenient.
WILLIAMS

zijn, als de tijd dit toeliet. MORE: Perilous=Dangerous
