Henry VI, Part I
[II, 2] |
Duke of Burgundy |

Is it even so? Nay, then, I see our wars
Will turn unto a peaceful comic sport,
When ladies crave to be encounter'd with.
You may not, my lord, despise her gentle suit.

Thanks, gentle sir.
Come, let us four to dinner: I dare say
This quarrel will drink blood another day.

Henry VI, Part I
[III, 2] |
Lord Talbot/Earl of Shrewsbury |
1586 |
Thanks, gentle duke. But where is Pucelle now?
I think her old familiar is asleep:
Now where's the Bastard's braves, and Charles his gleeks?
What, all amort? Rouen hangs her head for grief
That such a valiant company are fled.
Now will we take some order in the town,
Placing therein some expert officers,
And then depart to Paris to the king,
For there young Henry with his nobles lie.

Henry VI, Part I
[IV, 1] |
Lord Talbot/Earl of Shrewsbury |
1793 |
When first this order was ordain'd, my lords,
Knights of the garter were of noble birth,
Valiant and virtuous, full of haughty courage,
Such as were grown to credit by the wars;
Not fearing death, nor shrinking for distress,
But always resolute in most extremes.
He then that is not furnish'd in this sort
Doth but usurp the sacred name of knight,
Profaning this most honourable order,
And should, if I were worthy to be judge,
Be quite degraded, like a hedge-born swain
That doth presume to boast of gentle blood.

Earl of Suffolk |

Say, gentle princess, would you not suppose
Your bondage happy, to be made a queen?

Henry VI, Part I
[V, 3] |
Earl of Suffolk |
2585 |
No, gentle madam; I unworthy am
To woo so fair a dame to be his wife,
And have no portion in the choice myself.
How say you, madam, are ye so content?

Fie, Joan, that thou wilt be so obstacle!
God knows thou art a collop of my flesh;
And for thy sake have I shed many a tear:
Deny me not, I prithee, gentle Joan.
