3 a coign of vantage
выгодная позиция, удобный наблюдательный пункт; место, удобное для наблюдения [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]Banquo: "This guest of summer, The temple-haunting martlet, does approve, By his lov'd mansionry, that the heaven's breath Smells wooingly here: no jutty, frieze, buttress, Nor coigne of vantage, but this bird hath made His pendant bed and procreant cradle: Where they most breed and haunt, I have observ'd The air is delicate. " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Macbeth’, act I, sc. VI) — Банко: "Летний гость, Храмовник-стриж [Существовало поверье, что стрижи любят селиться под выступами церковных крыш. - автор], обосновавшись тут, Доказывает нам, что это небо Радушьем веет. Нет зубца, устоя, Угла иль выступа, где б он не свил Висячих лож и щедрых колыбелей. Где он живет, там воздух, я заметил, Особо чист." (перевод М. Лозинского)
As it is the traders had occupied... every coign of vantage. (W. Scott, ‘The Heart of Mid-Lothian’, ch. VI) — Торговцы уже заняли... все удобные места.

Blunden, ‘Undertones of War’, Kenk) — Наши пулеметчики с ручными пулеметами Люиса расположились на выгодных позициях, откуда они могли наблюдать за поспешным передвижением войск противника... и помешать этому.
