Petard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A petard was a small bomb used for blowing up gates and walls when breaching fortifications.


"Hoist with his own petard"

If a petard detonated prematurely, the petardier would be blown upward by the explosion.

William Shakespeare wrote "hoist with his own petard" in Hamlet. The word "hoist" is the (now archaic) past participle of "hoise", the earlier form of the verb "hoist".

In the following passage, the "letters" refer to instructions written by Hamlet's uncle Claudius, the King of Denmark, to be carried sealed to the King of England, by Hamlet and his schoolfellows Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. The letters, as Hamlet suspects, contain a death warrant for Hamlet, who later opens and modifies them to refer to Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Enginer refers to a military engineer; the spelling reflects Elizabethan stress.

There's letters seal'd: and my two schoolfellows,
Whom I will trust as I will adders fang'd,
They bear the mandate; they must sweep my way
And marshal me to knavery. Let it work;
For 'tis the sport to have the enginer
Hoist with his own petar'; and 't shall go hard
But I will delve one yard below their mines
And blow them at the moon: O, 'tis most sweet,
When in one line two crafts directly meet.

Funeral for a Fiend


How did you loosen the tiles of my mosaic of murder? I grew suspicious when I saw the casket had extra room built-in for your feet.
Why would your family pay all that extra money of a dead man? Damn these glorious gunboats!

FRED: Understood, Rocinante, your flight plan has been filed and logged. Be advised you'll be crossing three Martian trade zones. Likelihood of encountering MCRN patrols is high. Sorry, that's the best we could do. You are clear to disengage.

Thank you kindly, partner.
