11 quotes
Methinks sometimes I have no more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has.
The more pity that great folk should have countenance in this world to drown or hang themselves, more than their even Christian.
It is spoke as Christians ought to speak.
A virtuous and a Christian-like conclusion,
To pray for them that have done scathe to us.
Richard III (1591)
If thou keep promise, I shall end this strife,
Become a Christian and thy loving wife.
For in converting Jews to Christians, you raise the price of pork.
The Hebrew will turn Christian: he grows kind.
O father Abram, what these Christians are,
Whose own hard dealings teaches them suspect
The thoughts of others.
Plant neighborhood and Christian-like accord
In their sweet bosoms.
Henry V (1599)
This making of Christians will raise the price of hogs: if we grow all to be pork-eaters, we shall not shortly have a rasher on the coals for money.
My daughter! O, my ducats! O, my daughter!
Fled with a Christian! O my Christian ducats.
