piping time of peace

piping time of peace
(piping time(s) of peace)
пора мирного веселья [шекспировское выражение; см. цитату]

Gloucester: "Why I, in this weak piping time of peace, Have no delight to pass away the time, Unless to see my shadow in the sun, And descant on mine own deformity..." (W. Shakespeare, ‘King Richard III’, act I, sc. 1) — Глостер: "Да, в наш ничтожный век, под сенью мира, Я радости лишен. Что делать мне? Подглядывать за собственною тенью Да о своем уродстве размышлять?.." (перевод Б. Лейтина)

When piping times of peace were broken, as often happened, by wars between England and other imperial powers, the losses of regular trade were more than offset by privateering at the expense of the French or Dutch or Spaniards. (Ch. Beard and M. Beard, ‘The Rise of American Civilization’, ch. III) — Когда веселую мирную пору нарушали войны между Англией и другими державами (а это происходило довольно часто), ущерб, нанесенный торговле, вполне компенсировало каперство за счет французов, голландцев и испанцев.
