Hath but a losing office, and his tongue
Sounds ever after as a sullen bell,
Rememb'red tolling a departing friend.

And golden times and happy news of price.
(Falstaff:) I pray thee now, deliver them like a man of this

And now, to add more measure to your woes,
I come to tell you things sith then befallen.

My heart hath one poor string to stay it by,
Which holds but till thy news be uttered,
And then all this thou seest is but a clod
And module of confounded royalty.
