All's Well That Ends Well
[V, 3]

King of France

2711

I am not a day of season,
For thou mayst see a sunshine and a hail
In me at once: but to the brightest beams
Distracted clouds give way; so stand thou forth;
The time is fair again.

Antony and Cleopatra
[I, 5]

Alexas

561

Sovereign of Egypt, hail!

3

Antony and Cleopatra
[II, 5]

Cleopatra

1101

I have a mind to strike thee ere thou speak'st:
Yet if thou say Antony lives, is well,
Or friends with Caesar, or not captive to him,
I'll set thee in a shower of gold, and hail
Rich pearls upon thee.

4

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 6]

Octavia

1866

Hail, Caesar, and my lord! hail, most dear Caesar!

5

Antony and Cleopatra
[III, 13]

Cleopatra

2446

Ah, dear, if I be so,
From my cold heart let heaven engender hail,
And poison it in the source; and the first stone
Drop in my neck: as it determines, so
Dissolve my life! The next Caesarion smite!
Till by degrees the memory of my womb,
Together with my brave Egyptians all,
By the discandying of this pelleted storm,
Lie graveless, till the flies and gnats of Nile
Have buried them for prey!

Coriolanus
[I, 1]

Menenius Agrippa

155

For that, being one o' the lowest, basest, poorest,
Of this most wise rebellion, thou go'st foremost:
Thou rascal, that art worst in blood to run,
Lead'st first to win some vantage.
But make you ready your stiff bats and clubs:
Rome and her rats are at the point of battle;
The one side must have bale.
[Enter CAIUS CORIOLANUS]
Hail, noble CORIOLANUS!

7

Coriolanus
[II, 1]

Coriolanus

1103

My gracious silence, hail!
Wouldst thou have laugh'd had I come coffin'd home,
That weep'st to see me triumph? Ay, my dear,
Such eyes the widows in Corioli wear,
And mothers that lack sons.

Coriolanus
[IV, 6]

Both Tribunes

3019

Hail sir!

Coriolanus
[IV, 6]

Menenius Agrippa

Hail to you both!

Coriolanus
[V, 6]

Coriolanus

3907

Hail, lords! I am return'd your soldier,
No more infected with my country's love
Than when I parted hence, but still subsisting
Under your great command. You are to know
That prosperously I have attempted and
With bloody passage led your wars even to
The gates of Rome. Our spoils we have brought home
Do more than counterpoise a full third part
The charges of the action. We have made peace
With no less honour to the Antiates
Than shame to the Romans: and we here deliver,
Subscribed by the consuls and patricians,
Together with the seal o' the senate, what
We have compounded on.

Cymbeline
[III, 3]

Belarius

1602

A goodly day not to keep house, with such
Whose roof's as low as ours! Stoop, boys; this gate
Instructs you how to adore the heavens and bows you
To a morning's holy office: the gates of monarchs
Are arch'd so high that giants may jet through
And keep their impious turbans on, without
Good morrow to the sun. Hail, thou fair heaven!
We house i' the rock, yet use thee not so hardly
As prouder livers do.

12

Cymbeline
[III, 3]

Guiderius

1611

Hail, heaven!

[III, 3]

Arviragus

Cymbeline
[V, 5]

Cornelius

Hail, great king!
To sour your happiness, I must report
The queen is dead.

15

Hamlet
[I, 2]

Horatio

365

Hail to your lordship!

16

Henry VI, Part I
[II, 2]

Messenger

795

All hail, my lords! which of this princely train
Call ye the warlike Talbot, for his acts
So much applauded through the realm of France?

17

Henry VI, Part III
[V, 7]

Richard III (Duke of Gloucester)

3126

And, that I love the tree from whence thou sprang'st,
Witness the loving kiss I give the fruit.
[Aside] To say the truth, so Judas kiss'd his master,]
And cried 'all hail!' when as he meant all harm.

18

Julius Caesar
[II, 2]

Decius Brutus

1038

Caesar, all hail! good morrow, worthy Caesar:
I come to fetch you to the senate-house.

19

Julius Caesar
[III, 1]

Artemidorus

Hail, Caesar! read this schedule.

Julius Caesar
[V, 1]

Antony

2379

In your bad strokes, Brutus, you give good words:
Witness the hole you made in Caesar's heart,
Crying 'Long live! hail, Caesar!'
