SECOND PART OF KING HENRY IV

Act i. Sc. 1.

Even such a man, so faint, so spiritless,

So dull, so dead in look, so woe-begone,
Drew Priam's curtain in the dead of night,

And would have told him, half his Troy was burned.

Hath but a losing office; and his tongue
Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,
Remembered knolling a departed friend.

is in other men.

Wherein the noble youth did dress themselves.

Nature's soft nurse, how have I frighted thee,
That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down,
And steep my senses in forgetfulness?

With all appliances and means to boot.

Open as day for melting charity.

And whipped the offending Adam out of him.

The air, a chartered libertine, is still.

King Henry V.-Continued.

Act iii. Sc. 1.

Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead!
In peace, there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness, and humility:

But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger.
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood.

Act iv. Chorus.

With busy hammers closing rivets up,
Give dreadful note of preparation.

Act iv. Sc. 3.

Then shall our names,

Familiar in their mouths as household words, -
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,

Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloster,-
Be in their flowing cups freshly remembered.

And he but naked, though locked up in steel,
Whose conscience with injustice is corrupted.*

The thief doth fear each bush an officer.

Now is the winter of our discontent

Made glorious summer by this sun of York; And all the clouds that lowered upon our house, In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
