Henry V
[II, 2]

Earl of Cambridge

Never was monarch better fear'd and loved
Than is your majesty: there's not, I think, a subject
That sits in heart-grief and uneasiness
Under the sweet shade of your government.

Lewis the Dauphin

bidding of a monarch and his countenance enforces homage.

You pay him then. That's a perilous shot out of an
elder-gun, that a poor and private displeasure can
do against a monarch! you may as well go about to

peacock's feather. You'll never trust his word
after! come, 'tis a foolish saying.
