On hearing this the prince leaped from the bed, uttering threats and imprecations, and endeavored to seize his arms. Philip, who had prudently kept in the background until the weapons were secured, now advanced and bade his son to return to bed and keep quiet.

"They will seize me, and let me out again. And then I'll go ahead again!" "The peasants themselves will bind you, and you will be thrown into jail."
