Therefore, friends,
  As far as to the sepulchre of Christ--
    Whose soldier now, under whose blessed cross
      We are impressed and engaged to fight--
        Fourthwith a power of English shall we levy,
          Whose arms were moulded in their mother's womb
            To chase these pagans in those holy fields
              Over whose acres walked those blessed feet
                Which fourteen hundred years ago were nailed
                  For our advantage on the bitter cross.
      - King Henry the Fourth, Part I
         (King Henry at I, i) [Christ]

As the honey of Hybla, my old lad of the castle--and is not a buff jerkin in a most sweet robe of durance?

(Falstaff:) By the Lord, thou say'st true, lad--and is not my hostess of the tavern a most sweet wench?

If all the year were playing holidays,
  To sport would be as tedious as to work;
    And nothing pleaseth but rare accidents.

         (Prince Henry at I, ii) [Holidays]

So, when this loose behavior I throw off
  And pay the debt I never promised,
    By how much better than my word I am,
      By so much shall I falsify men's hopes;
        And, like bright metal on a sullen ground,
          My reformation, glitt'ring o'er my fault,
            Shall show more goodly and attract more eyes
              Than that which hath no foil to set it off.
      - King Henry the Fourth, Part I

And his chin new reaped,
  Showed like a stubble land at harvest home.

And telling me the sovereignest thing on earth
  Was parmacity for an inward bruise,
    And that it was great pity, so it was,
      This villainous saltpetre should be digged
        Out of the bowels of the harmless earth,
          Which many a good tall fellow had destroyed
            So cowardly, and but for these vile guns,
              He would himself have been a soldier.
      - King Henry the Fourth, Part I
         (Hotspur at I, iii) [War]

But I remember, when the fight was done,
  When I was dry with rage and extreme toil,
    Breathless and faint, leaning upon my sword,
      Came there a certain lord, neat and trimly dressed,
        Fresh as a bridegroom, and his chin new reaped
          Showed like a stubble land at harvest home.
      - King Henry the Fourth, Part I

By heaven, methinks it were an easy leap
  To pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon,
    Or dive into the bottom of the deep,
      Where fathom line could never touch the ground,
        And pluck up drowned honor by the locks,
          So he that doth redeem her thence might wear
            Without corrival all her dignities;
              But out upon this half-faced fellowship!

He was perfumed like a milliner,
  And 'twixt his finger and his thumb he held
    A pouncet-box, which ever and anon
      He gave his nose, and took't away again;
        Who therewith angry, when it next came there,
          Took it in snuff; and still he smiled and talked'
            And as the soldiers bore dead bodies by,
              He called them untaught knaves, unmannerly,
                To bring a slovenly unhandsome corse
                  Betwixt the wind and his nobility.

          And so far will I trust thee, gentle Kate.
