The peasants are chanting. “Hail to the King, hail hail, O King, hail, King, hail, hail to the King!” (Not QUITE hailstones as big as castles promptly come crashing down.) “Next time, just stick with ‘long live the king.’”
Reminded me irresistibly of the Plagues of Egypt “He gave them hailstones for rain; fire, mingled with the hail, ran along upon the ground.” Go youtube for “Handel Israel in Egypt” -wonderful word-setting!
