Shakespeare - Henry IV Part 1 Quotes, Henry IV Part 1 Quotations
I
saw young Harry, with his beaver on,
His cuisses on his thighs, gallantly armed,
Rise from the ground like feathered Mercury,
And vaulted with such ease into his seat
As if an angel dropped down from the clouds,
To turn and wind a fiery Pegasus
And witch the world with noble horsemanship. Henry IV, Part 1, 4. 1
Doomsday
is near; die all, die merrily. Henry IV, Part 1, 4. 1
Tut,
tut; good enought to toss; food for powder, food for powder;
they 'll fill a pit as well as better: tush, man, mortal men,
mortal men. Henry IV, Part 1, 4. 2

knows itself. Henry IV, Part 1, 4. 3

would be well content
To entertain the lag-end of my life
With quiet hours. Henry IV, Part 1, 5. 1

lay in his way, and he found it. Henry IV, Part 1, 5. 1

Honour
pricks me on. Yea, but how if honour prick me off when I come
on,-how then? Can honour set to a leg? no: or an arm? no: or
take away the grief of a wound? no. Honour hath no skill in
surgery, then? no. What is honour? a word. What is in that word
honour; what is that honour? air. A trim reckoning! Who hath
it? he that died o' Wednesday. Doth he feel it? no. Doth he
hear it? no. 'Tis insensible, then? yea, to the dead. But will
it not live with the living? no. Why? detraction will not suffer
it. Therefore I'll none of it. Honour is a mere scutcheon. And
so ends my catechism. Henry
IV, Part 1, 5. 1
