6 singe the beard of the King of Spain
ист."подпалить бороду испанского короля", опустошать берега Испании [выражение создано Ф. Дрейком (F. Drake, 1545-95)]I remember Drake in the vaunting style of a soldier, would call the Enterprise the singeing of the King of Spain's beard. (F. Bacon, ‘Considerations Touching on War with Spain’, Kenk) — Я помню, как Дрейк, готовя очередной поход, хвастался, что "подпалит бороду испанского короля"
If Drake had had Charles Montagu behind him, he would have done more than singe the beard of the King of Spain. (G. M. Trevelyan, ‘History of England’, book IV, ch. IX) — Если бы Чарлз Монтегю оказал поддержку Дрейку, тот разорил бы не только побережье Испании.
