Henry IV, Part 2 (Folger Shakespeare Library)

by William Shakespeare

Deny it to a king? Then, happy low, lie down. 30 Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

thou art a summer bird, 98 Which ever in the haunch of winter sings 99 The lifting up of day.

Will Fortune never come with both hands full, 112 But ⟨write⟩ her fair words still in foulest ⟨letters⟩? 113 She either gives a stomach and no food— 114 Such are the poor, in health—or else a feast 115 And takes away the stomach—such are the rich, 116 That have abundance and enjoy it not.

For me, by heaven, I bid you be assured, 57 I’ll be your father and your brother too. 58 Let me but bear your love, I’ll bear your cares.
