And bait the trap and lay the springe and mine.

Not such a greatness crumbles in a day.

Much might be lost by hastening the issue.

Some one must work upon the moody king

And mould him softly, cunningly to knowledge

Of his cuckoldship. It must be deftly done,

Or like spark o’ the powder, it would send

Our plottings and hopings out o’ the skyhole.

Vivien. It is well.
