battle fares like to the morning's war,

And, like a Sinon, take another Troy.

Change shapes with Proteus for advantages,
And set the murderous Machiavel to school.

impudent and shameless Warwick, peace;

My parks, my walks, my manors that I had,
Even now forsake me; and of all my lands
Is nothing left me but my body's length!
Why, what is pomp, rule, reign, but earth and dust?
And, live we how we can, yet die we must. Henry
VI, Part 3, 5. 2

The thief doth fear each bush an officer. Henry

down to hell; and say I sent thee thither. Henry
