SHAKESPEARE’S GARDEN 
1 HENRY IV. 
When on the gentle Severn’s sedgy bank, 
In single opposition, hand to hand, 
He did confound the best part of an hour 
In changing hardiment with great Glendower : 
Three times they breathed and three times did they drink, 
Upon agreement, of swift Severn’s flood ; 
Who then, affrighted with their bloody looks, 
Ran fearfully among the trembling reeds, 
And hid his crisp head in the hollow bank, 
Blood-stained with these valiant combatants. 
I. iii. 98. 
To put down Richard, that sweet lovely rose, 
And plant this thorn, this canker, Bolingbroke ? 
I. iii. 175. 
2nd Car. Peas and beans are as dank here as a dog, and 
that is the next way to give poor jades the bots : this house 
is turned upside down since Robin ostler died. 
1st Car. Poor fellow, never joyed since the price of oats 
rose; it was the death of him. 
II. i. 9. 
1st Car. What, ostler ! come away and be hanged! come 
away. 
2nd Car. I have a gammon of bacon and two razes of 
ginger, to be delivered as far as Charing-cross. 
II. i. 24. 
Gads. She will, she will; justice hath liquored her. We 
steal as in a castle, cock-sure; we have the receipt of fern- 
seed, we walk invisible. 
Cham. Nay, by my faith, I think you are more beholding 
to the night than to fern-seed for your walking invisible. 
II. i. 93. 
But I tell you, my lord fool, out of this nettle, danger, we 
pluck this flower, safety. 
II. iii. 9. 
Fran. Anon, anon, sir. Look down into the Pomgarnet. 
II. iv. 41. 
Fal. What, upon compulsion ? ’Zounds, and I were at the 
strappado, or all the racks in the world, I would not tell you 
on compulsion. Give you a reason on compulsion ! if reasons 
were as plenty as blackberries, I would give no man a reason 
upon compulsion, I. 
II. iv. 261.
