Rumour
is a pipe
Blown by surmises, jealousies, conjectures,
And of so easy and so plain a stop
That the blunt monster with uncounted heads,
The still-discordant wavering multitude,
Can play upon it. Henry IV, Part 2, Induction
Yet
the first bringer of unwelcome news
Hath but a losing office, and his tongue
Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,
Remembered knolling a departed friend. Henry IV, Part 2, 1. 1
The
brain of this foolish-compounded clay, man, is not able to invent
anything that tends to laughter, more than I invent or is invented
on me: I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit
is in other men. I do here walk before thee like a sow that
hath overwhelmed all her litter but one. Henry IV, Part 2, 1. 2
A
rascally yea-forsooth knave. Henry IV, Part 2, 1. 2

lordship, though not clean past your youth, hath yet some smack
of age in you, some relish of the saltness of time. Henry IV, Part 2, 1. 2

your lordship; a kind of sleeping in the blood, a whoreson tingling. Henry IV, Part 2, 1. 2

is the disease of not listening, the malady of not marking,
that I am troubled withal. Henry IV, Part 2, 1. 2
Have
you not a moist eye, a dry hand, a yellow cheek, a white beard,
a decreasing leg, an increasing belly? Is not your voice broken,
your wind short, your chin double, your wit single, and every
part about you blasted with antiquity, and will you yet call
yourself young? Fie, fie, fie, Sir John! Henry IV, Part 2, 1. 2
My
lord, I was born about three of the clock in the afternoon,
with a white head, and something of a round belly. For my voice,
I have lost it with hollaing, and singing of anthems. Henry
IV, Part 2, 1. 2
Chief
Justice: God send the prince a better companion!
Falstaff: God send the companion a better prince! I cannot rid
my hands of him. Henry
IV, Part 2, 1. 2
