First, heaven be the record to my speech!
In the devotion of a subject's love,...

3

I,1,72

Pale trembling coward, there I throw my gage,
Disclaiming here the kindred of the king,...

4

I,1,90

Look, what I speak, my life shall prove it true;
That Mowbray hath received eight thousand nobles...

5

I,1,192

O, God defend my soul from such deep sin!
Shall I seem crest-fall'n in my father's sight?...

I,3,341

Lord marshal, let me kiss my sovereign's hand,
And bow my knee before his majesty:...

For me, if I be gored with Mowbray's spear:...

Mine innocency and Saint George to thrive!

10

I,3,397

Strong as a tower in hope, I cry amen.

11

I,3,441

I,3,488

I swear.

13

I,3,490

Norfolk, so far as to mine enemy:—
By this time, had the king permitted us,...

14

I,3,513

How long a time lies in one little word!
Four lagging winters and four wanton springs...

15

I,3,556

I have too few to take my leave of you,
When the tongue's office should be prodigal...

16

I,3,560

Joy absent, grief is present for that time.

17

I,3,562

To men in joy; but grief makes one hour ten.

18

I,3,564

My heart will sigh when I miscall it so,
Which finds it an inforced pilgrimage.

Nay, rather, every tedious stride I make
Will but remember me what a deal of world...

20

I,3,595

O, who can hold a fire in his hand
By thinking on the frosty Caucasus?...

My mother, and my nurse, that bears me yet!...

22

II,3,1153

How far is it, my lord, to Berkeley now?

23

II,3,1171

Of much less value is my company
Than your good words. But who comes here?

I thank thee, gentle Percy; and be sure
I count myself in nothing else so happy...

25

II,3,1214

Which, till my infant fortune comes to years,...

Here comes his grace in person. My noble uncle!

29

II,3,1243

My gracious uncle—

30

II,3,1264

My gracious uncle, let me know my fault:
On what condition stands it and wherein?

31

II,3,1271

As I was banish'd, I was banish'd Hereford;
But as I come, I come for Lancaster....

The Welshmen are dispersed, and Salisbury...

37

III,3,1650

Mistake not, uncle, further than you should.

38

III,3,1653

I know it, uncle, and oppose not myself
Against their will. But who comes here?...

Royally!
Why, it contains no king?

40

III,3,1668

Noble lords,
Go to the rude ribs of that ancient castle;...

41

III,3,1829

What says his majesty?

42

III,3,1834

Stand all apart,
And show fair duty to his majesty....

43

III,3,1844

My gracious lord, I come but for mine own.

44

III,3,1846

Fetch hither Richard, that in common view
He may surrender; so we shall proceed...

54

IV,1,2144

Lords, you that here are under our arrest,
Procure your sureties for your days of answer....

55

IV,1,2178

I thought you had been willing to resign.

56

IV,1,2182

Part of your cares you give me with your crown.

57

IV,1,2188

Are you contented to resign the crown?

58

IV,1,2257

Go some of you and fetch a looking-glass.

59

IV,1,2261

Urge it no more, my Lord Northumberland.

60

IV,1,2284

The shadow of your sorrow hath destroy'd
The shadow or your face.

61

IV,1,2298

Name it, fair cousin.

62

IV,1,2304

Yet ask.

63

IV,1,2306

Our coronation: lords, prepare yourselves....

'Tis full three months since I did see him last;...

68

V,3,2589

And what said the gallant?

69

V,3,2594

As dissolute as desperate; yet through both
I see some sparks of better hope, which elder years...

70

V,3,2599

What means our cousin, that he stares and looks
So wildly?

71

V,3,2603

Withdraw yourselves, and leave us here alone.
[Exeunt HENRY PERCY and Lords]...

72

V,3,2609

Intended or committed was this fault?
If on the first, how heinous e'er it be,...

73

V,3,2614

Have thy desire.

74

V,3,2617

Villain, I'll make thee safe.

75

V,3,2624

What is the matter, uncle? speak;
Recover breath; tell us how near is danger,...

76

V,3,2637

O heinous, strong and bold conspiracy!
O loyal father of a treacherous son!...

77

V,3,2654

What shrill-voiced suppliant makes this eager cry?

78

Our scene is alter'd from a serious thing,
And now changed to 'The Beggar and the King.'...

And to thy worth will add right worthy gains.

Thy pains, Fitzwater, shall not be forgot;
Right noble is thy merit, well I wot.
