King Henry VI. Part I.

Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!

King Henry VI. Part I. Act i. Sc. 1.

Halcyon days.

King Henry VI. Part I. Act i. Sc. 2.

Between two hawks, which flies the higher pitch;
Between two dogs, which hath the deeper mouth;
Between two blades, which bears the better temper;
Between two horses, which doth bear him best;
Between two girls, which hath the merriest eye,—
I have perhaps some shallow spirit of judgment;
But in these nice sharp quillets of the law,
Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw.

King Henry VI. Part I. Act ii. Sc. 4.

Delays have dangerous ends. 1

King Henry VI. Part I. Act iii. Sc. 2.

She ’s beautiful, and therefore to be wooed;
She is a woman, therefore to be won.

King Henry VI. Part I. Act v. Sc. 3.

Note 1.
All delays are dangerous in war.—John Dryden: Tyrannic Love, act i. sc. 1. [back]
