And when the citizens of Angiers haughtily closed their gates against both King Philip and King John, the taunt is raised (King John, act ii. sc. 1, l. 373, vol. iv. p. 26),—

And stand securely on their battlements,
As in a theatre, whence they gape and point
At your industrious scenes and acts of death.”
