If Henry were recall'd to life again,...

Bedford, if thou be slack, I'll fight it out.

6

I,1,175

I'll to the Tower with all the haste I can,
To view the artillery and munition;...

7

I,3,352

I am come to survey the Tower this day:
Since Henry's death, I fear, there is conveyance....

8

I,3,362

Who willed you? or whose will stands but mine?

I,3,369

Lieutenant, is it you whose voice I hear?
Open the gates; here's Gloucester that would enter.

10

I,3,375

Faint-hearted Woodvile, prizest him 'fore me?
Arrogant Winchester, that haughty prelate,...

Thy scarlet robes as a child's bearing-cloth...

20

III,1,1228

Presumptuous priest! this place commands my patience,
Or thou shouldst find thou hast dishonour'd me....

21

III,1,1262

As good!
Thou bastard of my grandfather!

22

III,1,1266

Am I not protector, saucy priest?

23

III,1,1268

Yes, as an outlaw in a castle keeps
And useth it to patronage his theft.

24

III,1,1271

Thou art reverent
Touching thy spiritual function, not thy life.

25

III,1,1321

You of my household, leave this peevish broil
And set this unaccustom'd fight aside.

Here, Winchester, I offer thee my hand.

See here, my friends and loving countrymen,...

30

III,1,1384

Well urged, my Lord of Warwick: or sweet prince,
And if your grace mark every circumstance,...

31

III,1,1413

Now will it best avail your majesty
To cross the seas and to be crown'd in France:...

Yes, if it please your majesty, my liege.

Lord bishop, set the crown upon his head.

35

IV,1,1761

Now, governor of Paris, take your oath,
That you elect no other king but him;...

36

IV,1,1790

To say the truth, this fact was infamous
And ill beseeming any common man,...

37

IV,1,1811

What means his grace, that he hath changed his style?
No more but, plain and bluntly, 'To the king!'...

38

IV,1,1828

He doth, my lord, and is become your foe.

39

IV,1,1830

It is the worst, and all, my lord, he writes.

And perish ye, with your audacious prate!...

V,1,2358

I have, my lord: and their intent is this:
They humbly sue unto your excellence...

Her father is no better than an earl,...

47

V,5,2897

And so the Earl of Armagnac may do,
Because he is near kinsman unto Charles.

48

V,5,2956

Ay, grief, I fear me, both at first and last.
