Queen: "Alack, I had forgot: 'tis so concluded on." Hamlet: "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 swep my way, And marshal me to knavery. Let it work; For 'tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his own petar... O! 'tis most sweet, When in one line two crafts directly meet... " (W. Shakespeare, ‘Hamlet’, act III, sc. 4) — Гамлет: "Я еду в Англию; вам говорили?" Королева: "Я и забыла; это решено?"

The arrival of the war converted his game into a dreadful seriousness and hoisted him with his own petard. (I. Murdoch, ‘The Red and the Green’, ch. 1) — С конным полком короля Эдуарда Эндрю свел знакомство давно, еще в мирное время, с единственной целью: за недорогую плату поучиться верховой езде... Война превратила веселую игру в нечто до ужаса серьезное - вышло так, что он сам себе вырыл яму.

8 dig one's own grave
(dig one's own grave (тж. dig the grave of smb. или smth.))самому себе могилу рыть, самого себя угробить (угробить, погубить кого-л. или что-л.)‘I tell you, Desmonde,’ Glyn went on more quietly, ‘you've got off to a false start, landed in bad company, and worst of all, you've been slacking abominably. If you don't take yourself up you'll have dug your own grave. The lowest pit in hell is occupied by the artist who does not work.’ (A. J. Cronin, ‘A Thing of Beauty’, part I, ch. VIII) — - Вот что я скажу тебе, Десмонд, - уже более спокойно продолжал Глин, - ты не с того начал, попал в дурную компанию и, что самое скверное, стал настоящим лоботрясом. Если ты не возьмешься за ум, то сам выроешь себе могилу. Помни, что в последнем кругу ада Данте поместил художника, который не работает!
By his folly he'll dig the grave of his reputation. — Безрассудство погубит его репутацию.
