Except for all the people on this site, who talk nonstop about deliberately setting off such a thing?

"Why, so can I, and so can any man
but will they foom when you do conjure them?"

The annotated RichardKennaway:

This is a quote from Henry IV part I, when Glendower is showing off to the other rebels, claiming to be a sorceror, and Hotspur is having none of it.

Glendower:

I can call spirits from the vasty deep.

Hotspur:

Why, so can I, or so can any man

But will they come when you do call for them?
