Shakespeare - Henry VIII Quotes, Famous Henry VIII Quotations
Heat
not a furnace for your foe so hot
That it do singe yourself. Henry VIII, 1. 1
Go
with me, like good angels, to my end;
And, as the long divorce of steel falls on me,
Make of your prayers one sweet sacrifice,
And lift my soul to heaven. Henry VIII, 1. 1
I
would not be a queen
For all the world. Henry VIII, 1. 2
Orpheus
with his lute made trees,
And the mountain-tops that freeze,
Bow themselves when he did sing. Henry VIII, 3. 1
In
sweet music is such art,
Killing care and grief of heart
Fall asleep, or hearing die. Henry VIII, 3. 1
I shall fall
Like a bright exhalation in the evening,
And no man see me more. Henry VIII, 3. 2
Farewell!
a long farewell, to all my greatness!
This is the state of man: to-day he puts forth
The tender leaves of hopes; to-morrow blossoms,
And bears his blushing honours thick upon him;
The third day comes a frost, a killing frost,
And when he thinks, good easy man, full surely
His greatness is a-ripening, nips his root,
And then he falls, as I do. I have ventured,
Like little wanton boys that swim on bladders,
This many summers in a sea of glory,
But far beyond my depth. Henry VIII, 3. 2
O,
how wretched
Is that poor man that hangs on princes' favours!
There is betwixt that smile we would aspire to,
That sweet aspect of princes, and their ruin,
More pangs and fears than wars or women have:
And when he falls, he falls like Lucifer,
Never to hope again. Henry VIII, 3. 2
A
peace above all earthly dignities,
A still and quiet conscience. Henry
VIII, 3. 2
