IV,2,2375

I thank you, good people: there shall be no money;
all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will...

12

13

IV,2,2390

Here's a villain!

15

19

IV,2,2414

Here I am, thou particular fellow.

IV,2,2461

[Aside] He lies, for I invented it myself.
Go to, sirrah, tell the king from me, that, for his...

behavedst thyself as if thou hadst been in thine own...

IV,3,2510

And, to speak truth, thou deservest no less. This
monument of the victory will I bear;...

IV,3,2518

Fear not that, I warrant thee. Come, let's march
towards London.

36

IV,6,2603

Now is Mortimer lord of this city. And here, sitting
upon London-stone, I charge and command that, of the...

37

IV,6,2611

Knock him down there.

38

IV,6,2617

Come, then, let's go fight with them; but first, go
and set London bridge on fire; and, if you can, burn...

39

IV,7,2623

So, sirs: now go some and pull down the Savoy;
others to the inns of court; down with them all.

40

IV,7,2626

Be it a lordship, thou shalt have it for that word.

41

IV,7,2633

IV,7,2721

[Aside] I feel remorse in myself with his words;
but I'll bridle it: he shall die, an it be but for...

51

IV,7,2734

Away with him! and do as I command ye.
[Exeunt some with Lord SAY]...

IV,7,2744

Marry, presently.

53

IV,7,2747

for they loved well when they were alive. Now part...

and yet am ready to famish! These five days have I...

IV,10,2912
