To
gild refined gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess. King John, 4. 2
And
oftentimes excusing of a fault
Doth make the fault the worse by the excuse. King John, 4. 2
Another
lean unwashed artificer
Cuts off his tale and talks of Arthur's death. King John, 4. 2
How
oft the sight of means to do ill deeds
Make deeds ill done! King John, 4. 2
Heaven take thy soul, and England keep my bones! King John, 4. 3
Whate'er
you think, good words, I think, were best. King John, 4. 3
I
do not ask you much:
I beg cold comfort. King John, 5. 7
This
England never did, nor never shall,
Lie at the proud foot of a conqueror,
But when it first did help to wound itself.
Now these her princes are come home again,
Come the three corners of the world in arms,
And we shall shock them. Nought shall make us rue,
If England to itself do rest but true. King
John, 5. 7
