Of course of curse of coarse no phonetic rendering
of valiant and William, neither from Peter T. Daniels
nor from Grooving Peter, so I go for it, considering
my Oxford dictionary, as we are dealing here with
one of the earls of Oxford. It gives

  valiant   'vaeljant

  William  'wiljam

  stress on vael- and wil-

  ae in vael- pronounced like a in man;
  a in -jant and jam- like in ago (years ago),
  unaccentuated, that is

  'vaeliant  'wiljam  VAeL-jant   WIL-jam

everybody can see the alliteration apart from
a Peter T. Daniels and Peter Qunce and Peter
Grooves, and the pear system or rather quince
system is of course of curse of coarse meant
to eliminate new ideas, we all know that.
