SECOND PART OF KING HENRY IV.
Act i. Sc. 1.
Even such a man, so faint, so spiritless.
So dull, so dead in look, so woebegone,
Drew Priam's curtain in the dead of night,
And would have told him, half his Troy was burned.
Act i. Sc. 1.
Yet the first bringer of unwelcome news
Hath but a losing office; and his tongue
Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,
Remembered knolling a departed friend.
Act i. Sc. 2.
I am not only witty in myself, but the cause that wit is in other men.
Act ii. Sc. 2.
He hath eaten me out of house and home.
