Hung be the heavens with black, yield day to night!
  Comets, importing change of times and states,
    Brandish your crystal tresses in the sky
      And with them scourge the bad revolting stars
        That have consented unto Henry's death--
          King Henry the Fifth, too famous to live long!
            England ne'er lost a king of so much worth.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Bedford at I, i) [Books (First Lines)]

Glory is like a circle in the water,
  Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself
    Till by broad spreading it disperse to naught.

         (Pucelle at I, ii) [Glory]

My thoughts are whirled like a potter's wheel;
  I know not where I am nor what I do.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Talbot at I, v) [Thought]

So bees with smoke and doves with noisome stench
  Are from their hives and houses driven away.
    They called us, for our fierceness, English dogs;
      Now, like to whelps, we crying run away.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Talbot at I, v) [Cowardice]

Thy promises are like Adonis' garden,
  That one day bloomed and fruitful were the next.

God is our fortress, in whose conquering name
  Let us resolve to scale their flinty bulwarks.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Talbot at II, i) [God]

No, truly, 'tis more than manners will;
  And I have heard it said, unbidden guests
    Are often welcomest when they are gone.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Bedford at II, ii) [Guests]

The day begins to break and night is fled,
  Whose pitchy mantle overveiled the earth.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Bedford at II, ii) [Morning : Night]

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 the Sixth, Part I
         (Warwick at II, iv) [Hawks : Law]

Faith, I have been a truant in the law
  And never yet could frame my will to it,
    And therefore frame the law unto my will.

Hath not thy rose a canker, Somerset?
  Hath not thy rose a thorn, Plantagenet?

Let him that is a true-born gentleman
  And stands upon the honor of his birth,
    If he suppose that I have pleaded truth,
      From off this brier pluck a white rose with me.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Plantagenet, Duke of York at II, iv)
        [Roses]

Believe me, lords, my tender years can tell
  Civil dissension is a viperous worm
    That gnaws the bowels of the commonwealth.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I

See here, my friends and loving countrymen:
  This token serveth for a flag of truce
    Betwixt ourselves and all our followers.

Defer no time; delays have dangerous ends.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Reignier at III, ii) [Delay : Proverbs]

Foul fiend of France and hag of all despite,
  Encompassed with thy lustful paramours,
    Becomes it thee to taunt his valiant age
      And twit with cowardice a man half dead?

         (Talbot at III, ii) [Cowardice]

Care is no cure, but rather corrosive,
  For things that are not to be remedied.

When first this order was ordained, my lords,
  Knights of the Garter were of noble birth,
    Valiant and virtuous, full of haughty courage,
      Such as were grown to credit by the wars;
        Not fearing death nor shrinking for distress,
          But always resolute in most extremes.
      - King Henry the Sixth, Part I
         (Talbot at IV, i) [Extremes]

Ay, marry, uncle; for I always thought
  It was both impious and unnatural
    That such immanity and bloody strife
