Today’s Totally Random Lines
And,
as he drinks his draughts of Rhenish down,
The
kettle-drum and trumpet thus bray out
The
triumph of his pledge.
Hamlet
Hamlet Act I, Scene iv, Line 10
…the
king is feasting and every time he drinks, trumpets, drums, and cannon make
their joyful noise in celebration.
There, instead of Pete’s version I gave
you Isaac’s version this morning. So that’s right, every time the king drinks
there is a musical salute with a cannon. It sounds a bit much, doesn’t it; sort
of like a backwards drinking game. Instead of drinking every time something
happens, something (in this case a musical and cannon salute) happens every time he drinks. I
guess it’s great to be king. Sort of.

Does Isaac really give a plain version, just like Pete?
