King John
[III, 1]

King Phillip

Thy rage sham burn thee up, and thou shalt turn
To ashes, ere our blood shall quench that fire:
Look to thyself, thou art in jeopardy.

Too fairly, Hubert, for so foul effect:
Must you with hot irons burn out both mine eyes?

King John
[IV, 1]

Hubert de Burgh

I have sworn to do it;
And with hot irons must I burn them out.

King John
[IV, 1]

Hubert de Burgh

1711

Well, see to live; I will not touch thine eye
For all the treasure that thine uncle owes:
Yet am I sworn and I did purpose, boy,
With this same very iron to burn them out.

King John
[IV, 2]

King John

1833

They burn in indignation. I repent:
There is no sure foundation set on blood,
No certain life achieved by others' death.
[Enter a Messenger]
A fearful eye thou hast: where is that blood
That I have seen inhabit in those cheeks?
So foul a sky clears not without a storm:
Pour down thy weather: how goes all in France?
