thou rather be a Faulconbridge
And like thy brother, to enjoy thy land,
Or the reputed son of Coeur-de-Lion,

if his name be George, I'll call him Peter;
For new-made honour doth forget men's names. King John, 1. 1

whiles I am a beggar, I will rail,
And say there is no sin, but to be rich;

Time the clock-setter, that bald sexton, Time. King John, 2. 1

When gold and silver becks me to come on! King John, 3. 3
Grief
fills the room up of my absent child,
Lies in his bed, walks up and down with me,
Puts on his pretty looks, repeats his words,
Remembers me of all his gracious parts,
Stuffs out his vacant garments with his form:
Then have I reason to be fond of grief. King John, 3. 4

is as tedious as a twice-told tale
Vexing the dull ear of a drowsy man. King John, 3. 4

me these irons hot. King

Will
you put out mine eyes?
These eyes that mever did nor never shall
So much as frown on you?. King
John, 4. 1
