  • Henry IV. And wherefore should these good news make me sick?
    Will Fortune never come with both hands full,
    But write her fair words still in foulest letters?

    And takes away the stomach--such are the rich
    That have abundance and enjoy it not.

    And now my sight fails, and my brain is giddy.
    O me! come near me now I am much ill.

    Prince Humphrey. Comfort, your Majesty!

    Unfather'd heirs and loathly births of nature.
    The seasons change their manners, as the year
    Had found some months asleep, and leapt them over.
