1 King Henry the Sixth
Fight till the last gasp;
--- 1 King Henry the Sixth I, ii, 127
戰到最後一刻鐘； the last gasp: the last possible moment
Glory is like a circle in the water,
Which never ceaseth to enlarge itself,
Till by broad spreading it disperse to nought.
--- 1 King Henry the Sixth I, ii, 133

它會不停地擴大，
直到無法再大而消散於無。disperse: to go in different directions. nought, also naught: nothing
(it said,) unbidden guests
Are often welcomest when they are gone.
--- 1 King Henry the Sixth II. ii, 55
不速之客
當他們離去時 往往最受歡迎 unbidden: without having been invited
Between two hawks, which flies the higher pitch;
Between two dogs, which hath the deeper mouth;
Between two blades, which bears the better temper;
Between two horses, which doth bear him best;
Between two girls, which hath the merriest eye;
I have, perhaps, some shallow spirit of judgment;
But in these nice sharp quillets of the law,
Good faith, I am no wiser than a daw.
--- 1 King Henry the Sixth II. iv, 11
但是說到法律上那些準確巧妙的事情，
老實說，我不比一個傻子聰明。 pitch: flight. mouth: voice. temper: strength, hardness bear him: carry himself. nice: precise. quillets: subtleties. daw: jackdaw, fool, simpleton

Of all base passions, fear is most accursed.
--- 1 King Henry the Sixth V, ii, 18

So doth the swan her downy cygnets save,
Keeping them prisoner underneath her wings.

Than to be dealt in by attorneyship.

For what is wedlock forced, but a hell,
An age of discord and continual strife?
Whereas the contrary bringeth bliss,
And is a pattern of celestial peace.
