"Here do you keep a hundred knights and squires; Men so disorder'd [...] That this our court [..] Shows like a riotous inn: epicurism and lust Make it more like a tavern or a brothel Than a graced palace; The shame itself doth speak For instant remedy: be then desired By her, that else will take the thing she begs, A little to disquantity your train; And the remainder, that shall still depend, To be such men as may besort your age, And know themselves and you" (I.iv.237-248).

"Darkness and devils! Saddle my horses; call my train together: Degenerate bastard! I'll not trouble thee. Yet have I left a daughter" (I.iv.248-251).

"Thou shouldst not have been old till thou hadst
been wise" (I.v.42-43).

"O, let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; Keep me in temper: I would not be mad!" (I.v.44-45).
